AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional and imposing pair of three-light wall sconces, crafted in the classic Italian Baroque style.
The central structure is made entirely of hand-carved and turned wood, displaying a rich dark patina with refined shading and deliberate decorative wear in aged gold tones. The sleeves covering the sockets resemble antique wax candles, with sculpted “drips,” lending the pieces superb historical realism. The foliage element—comprising curved arms and rich acanthus leaves supporting the lights—is made entirely of decorated metal, creating a beautiful structural contrast with the understated wood.

70x38x22cm
