Pair of Antique Britannia Silver-Gilt Wall Sconces
About the Item
Supported on polished wood mounts, this pair of highly decorative antique Britannia silver-gilt wall sconces are hand-chased in an 18th century style that would have been popular circa 1730. Britannia silver is more pure than sterling silver (958 compared to 925) so the silversmith has been able to craft the metal into highly detailed designs; luxuriant foliate scrolls, a pillared canopy, acanthus leaves and a classical urn overflowing with flowers.
