About the Item
An early pair of oversized converted wall sconces on the form of a lions paw and a males fist, late 18th century in age
We believe these hard wood carvings would off been an elaborate wall mount for the a flag, likely bearing a ships flag or that of a large building. They have later been converted into decorative wall sconces. The original gilt is well worn a discoloured. The carving is crisp and well executed, an elderly repair across the fingers of the fist.
