Pair Vintage Italian Tole Iron Sconces

About the Item

This lovely pair of sconces, handcrafted in the early part of the '20s show great movement and style. Though made to resemble 18th-century style pieces these are capable of being used as candle sconce or can be wired through the arm to be electric. The paintwork on the sconces is in a naturalistic fashion though the colors are not now as pronounced as they were when first done. The colors range from soft yellows and greens to more intense ranges of the same color plus a rich old gold. The sconces retain their original hand forges iron back plates a most unusual feature. Wiring would be at an additional fee but can be done at the customer’s request and would come ready to install.
