AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of antique wall-mounted three-flame sconce holders in wrought iron and gilded wood – Italy, 19th/20th century
Description
Elegant pair of wall sconces with three flames, made of wrought iron and gold-plated elements, with turned and gilded wood candle holders. Each piece features a symmetrical structure composed of broad lateral volutes ending in scrolls and a central arched element, adorned with a double-ogive geometric motif. The composition is completed by three holders arranged at different heights.
Each seat is provided with the original iron point, intended to support candles by insertion. The three shaped and turned holders retain the antique gilding and show, in the areas affected by wear of the finish, the underlying light preparation layer.
On the back there are two long flat iron brackets, intended for mounting or insertion into the wall support.
The decorative line, construction, and the presence of the points link the pair to the tradition of Italian ecclesiastical and devotion-based furnishings, probably made between the late 19th and early 20th century.
The pair retains a beautiful antique patina and is particularly decorative even in contemporary interiors.
Characteristics
Quantity: 2 wall sconces
Number of flames: 3 per element / 6 total
Materials: wrought iron, turned wood, plaster/gypsum preparation and gilding
Dimensions of each: 15.5 × 26 × 21 cm

Conditions
Conditions consistent with age and use.
There is widespread wear and loss of gilding, especially on the holders, with exposure of the underlying light-gray prep layer. The metal structure shows abrasions, oxidations, gilding alterations, and a uniform patina due to time.
The iron tips show surface oxidation. There are also small losses and irregularities in the turned elements, clearly documented in the photographs.
The three candle holders are removable, as shown in the images.
