Italian 18th Century Set Of Six Gilt Iron Arms Suitable As Wall Lights

From Northern Italy a rare set of six 18th century gilt wrought iron arms,  hanging lantern brackets suitable as sconces just modifying the insert grafts. These iron arms are fully handmade with curved scrolling iron structure, decorated with  elegant gilt wrought iron leaves and gildwood balls. 
Good age related condition, the six arms have the same shape and structure but slightly different sizes, with  minor losses,  missing giltwood balls in four  of  item. The gilding of the arms is in good condition, excellent feature in case of their use as sconces, overturning the irons compared to their original use. Some small lacks in the leaves of the crowns of the bobeches , as visible in the picture details. Northern Italy, 1700.
Originally these Italian artworks were arms that, fixed in a ring placed on the wall, were used to hold the chains of votive lamps in churches, as attested by the hooks placed at the ends or the pulleys in some of them, suitable for lighting and maintenance of the lamps.
