AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of carved and gilded wooden wall sconces, Italy, late 1800s
Elegant pair of wall sconces in carved and leaf-gilded wood, Italian manufacture from the late nineteenth century, in Neobaroque style.
Each sconce is carved all around with rich acanthus leaves and scrollwork, culminating in a fan-shaped shell at the top and a stylized flower at the base. In the center, a turned baluster arm, with a plinth and fluted shaft, supports the light, wired but not functioning.
The gilding retains a beautiful antique patina; one sconce is in excellent condition while the other needs re-gilding in several spots.
Equipped with electrical connection (wiring to be checked and brought up to current standards before use). On the back are the original iron mounting supports.
