Description from the seller

Pair of antique wall sconces with antique mirrors in gilded bronze, crafted in the 19th century, 1820.
The design and ornamentation are typically rich and elaborate, with cherubs and oval bisacchi mirrors. These ancient mirrors are designed to diffuse any light source, providing much clarity and warmth.
These appliques are very beautiful and showcase exceptional sculptural craftsmanship, including chasing and decorations on both the upper and lower parts.
The mirror mounting plates are original and contemporaneous, probably still made of copper or hammered brass.
The appliques are nothing short of spectacular.
Observe all the photographs as part of the description and integral to this document.
