About the Item

An exceedingly rare and impressive Louis XVI period Italian three-light sconce realized with three red processional pricket torches, more than eight foot tall. Red Procession Sticks have octagonal section, are joined together by a central pin, to form a group of three torches that are placed against the wall and remain away from it in the upper part where a lamp holder powered by an external electric wire has been fixed. Working European standard wiring. Original from the 18th century, decorated with a lovely foliate and acanthus leaf carving, these wall lights are a unique artwork creation of an Italian craftsman. Original gold-leaf gilding with squares decorated with red and green aniline. In good age related condition, with signs of wear and gilding losses. They come from a private villa in Milan. This remarkable religious decorative objects was exquisitely hand-carved in Northern Italy in the early eighteenth century. This antique monumental sconce is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago requires a governative license for export called Belle Arti. The shipping may require additional 2-3 handling weeks to require and get the license according to the final destination of the artwork.
