About the Item

A large Italian pair of carved-wood pricket sconces from the 18th century. This antique pair of candle sconces from Italy have been carved with flower scalloped backplate at wall, which projects outward into a singular, and robust arm carved in an elegant scrolling acanthus leaf design, and terminating into a raised platform with pricket set at center, ready to hold the candle. The sconces have their original gilt gold and silver finish, with a wonderful old patina true to their centuries old history. Original forged iron hooks and rings are at their front and lower sides, likely once used to further embellish these pieces with floral arrangements. This pair of 18th century Italian candle sconces are nicely sized, with a projection of over 2.5 feet from the wall, they are sure to make a luxurious and grand statement to any wall you choose to adorn with them!
