Description from the seller
A distinctive and refined pair of two-light wall sconces, fully formed in finely chased and gilded bronze toward the end of the 19th century in Italy.
The central structure is richly decorated with Neoclassical motifs typical of the period: elegant laurel leaf garlands, ribbons and bows intertwined that culminate in a refined finish resembling drapery at the lower part. The two sinuous arms support lamp holders set inside bobèches decorated with acanthus leaves.
Excellent overall aesthetic condition. The original gold patina bears the beautiful marks of time that enhance its authenticity. Present (electrical wires visible on the back).
The electrical installation is period; a review before mounting is recommended to verify conformity and functionality.
Ideal for enriching prestigious living rooms, corridors, or bedrooms, these sconces provide warm lighting and an atmosphere of great elegance from bygone times.
H 33 / W 20 / D 10 cm
