A striking pair of large-scale Italian Baroque Revival wall sconces crafted from carved giltwood and hand-forged wrought iron. Richly decorated with shell motifs, gadrooned carving, and scrolling iron arms accented by stylized acanthus leaves, these sconces draw inspiration from the grand Baroque interiors of 17th-century Italy. Their substantial scale, hand-carved construction, and warm worn gilded finish reflect the craftsmanship and romantic character of late 19th- and early 20th-century European decorative arts. They make a dramatic statement flanking a mirror, fireplace, doorway, or bed while bringing old-world Italian elegance to an interior.
