Description from the seller
Pair of solid-brass wall sconces – Mythological Mascaron style
Sublime pair of antique wall sconces in solid brass, distinguished by their fascinating carved faces. The relief of the mascarons irresistibly evokes the figure of Medusa or a sea deity, with organic features and a wavy headdress reminiscent of tentacles or snakes.
Characterful pieces, perfect for a Cabinet of Curiosities décor, a baroque interior, or a dim, mystical ambiance.
Carved faces: Expressive details (round eyes, prominent cheekbones) surrounded by foliate scrolls.
Material: Heavy brass with an authentic patina.
Structure: Elegantly curved arms ending in a chiselled cup.
Dimensions & Weight
Total weight: 900 g (great density).
Face support length: 23 cm.
Width: 9.5 cm.
Projection (arm length): 14 cm.
Condition
Very beautiful vintage condition. The supports are pierced for easy wall mounting. Authentic objects with a patina that highlights every detail of the faces.
