A Pair Of 19th-century Italian Empire-style Wall Sconces
This splendid pair of Italian wall sconces from the first half of the 19th century is a refined example of period lighting, featuring carved, lacquered, and gilded wooden elements. The sconces have sculpted wooden arms with a two-tone finish and decorative details executed in gold leaf. They come complete with shield-shaped (or “ventoline”) lampshades in light-colored fabric, finished with visible decorative stitching around the edges. Originally designed as wall sconces or candelabra, these lamps were often used to flank mirrors above fireplaces or to illuminate elegant period interiors.
