About the Item

Hand-carved in Italy during the 1800s, this wall sconce has a brilliant, gilded display that encircles a small oval mirror. The central mirror is immediately surrounded by a husked ring with a small flower at top. Above the flower is an open crown that surmounts two volutes adorned with a thin band of flowers. Many other curled leaves with similar detailing surround the husk ring and glass, forming a wonderful frame full of movement. At the base of the gilded whorls is a crimped bobeche with a pricket that can support a candle. The bobeche sits on top of a geometric arm with additional foliate and floral embellishments. Our gilded oval-mirrored wall sconce can be displayed in just about any room of the house, from the bathroom or hallway to a living room or bedroom.
