18th Century Venetian Giltwood Mirrored Two-Arm Wall Sconce
About the Item
Hand-carved in the Veneto (or Venetia) region of North Italy, this gorgeous, giltwood mirrored wall sconce is from the mid-1700s. Two arms slot into a hole in the center of a curled leaf at the bottom of the mirror. The curvaceous arms terminate in flat bobeches with elongated cylindrical cream capitals ¾” in diameter. At the top of the mirror is a rising crest composed of molded volutes curving inwards towards each other. The crest is embellished with foliate sprigs and sits on top of a curled leaf in the center of the arching top of the frame. Other motifs include floral bouquets (each side has a distinct flowering display that rests on top of a volute that extends from the frame), more volutes, and foliage. All of the carvings have been arranged in a symmetrical orientation, giving the mirror perfect visual balance.
At just about three feet tall and two feet wide, our 18th century Venetian mirrored sconce has a large surface area. It would make a very nice wall-mounted mirror and lighting option for a powder room or hallway.

18th Century Parisian Giltwood Barometer Thermometer
Located in Dallas, TX
This lovely giltwood barometer and thermometer was hand-carved during the Louis XVI period in Paris, France. During the late 1700’s, barometers were typically only owned by wealthy families. Over time, barometers began to be viewed as works of art and could be found in middle class homes throughout Europe.
The highly detailed crown of our apparatus depicts a footed vase bursting with a floral display. The garland trails down in an arch shape until it reaches an angular platform adorned with molding and vertical fluting. The flowered swag continues behind the platform, transitioning into a pair of gadrooned leaves. Each gadrooned leaf terminates in a husked cornucopia overflowing with laurel leaves. A large circular barometer dial is positioned in between the cornucopias.
Under the barometer is a looping lambrequin that borders the top half of the thermometer. A pair of gadrooned leaves runs behind and through the lambrequin, flanking the lower half of the thermometer. A fluted base beneath the thermometer sits in a gadrooned cup.
The detail of the carvings on this late 18th century Parisian...
