Pair of 20th Century Italian Sconces Circa 1900
-
Description
This exquisite pair of early 20th-century Italian sconces showcases masterful craftsmanship and an enchanting floral design, making them a stunning addition to any interior. Crafted from tôle (painted sheet metal), these wall-mounted fixtures feature a gracefully scrolling structure adorned with finely detailed leaves and vibrant hand-painted flowers in shades of blue, yellow, and red.
Each sconce holds five candle-style lights, supported by elegantly curved arms that extend outward in a symmetrical arrangement. The candle cups are shaped like delicate, open flower blossoms, adding a naturalistic charm reminiscent of the Rococo and Art Nouveau styles. The soft patina on the metal enhances their antique character, giving them a beautifully aged appeal that speaks to their history.
The central motif of each sconce is a ribbon-like element tied at the base, further enhancing their decorative quality. Their scale and ornate detailing make them ideal statement pieces for a grand entryway, a formal dining room, or a luxurious bedroom. These sconces embody the timeless elegance of Italian decorative arts and would complement both antique and eclectic interiors. - More Information
