About the Item
Elevate your space with this exceptional pair of 19th-century Italian wall sconces, handcrafted in Tuscany around 1820. These rare antique fixtures feature dramatically carved lime wood "cat tail" motifs paired with bold wrought iron candle arms, a lovely combination of rustic elegance and sculptural artistry.
Each sconce is a visual statement: the sweeping botanical forms are meticulously hand-carved, showcasing incredible detail and movement. The rich contrast between the iron's dark patina and the pale, timeworn wood adds texture and dimension to any interior, from traditional European to eclectic or modern classic spaces.
These sconces are perfect for flanking mirrors, entryways, fireplaces, or gallery walls, bringing instant architectural drama and old-world charm. Though currently designed for candlelight, they can be easily rewired for electric use upon request (additional fee applies), making them versatile for modern lighting needs.
This pair is ideal for collectors, designers, and discerning decorators seeking one-of-a-kind antique lighting with presence, provenance, and personality.
