Pair of Antique Oval Sconces in Twisted Gilt Iron and Mosaic Mirror Reflectors
About the Item
I am offering for sale a pair of rare sconces made in Europe, and purchased by us in Italy, dating from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
These pair of late 19th Century wall lights may have originated as candle sconces given their design, but above all for the use of the concave shape and mosaic mirrors.
The oval shape of these antique sconces is made of gilded iron with the gold leaf technique, it features a decorative torcion motif along the entire perimeter and a leaf motif in the Florentine style on the structure of the lamp holder.
The mosaic mirrors are made with the silvering technique, therefore with the application of a special paint on metal foil, a technique used in ancient times to create mirrors.
The sconces work and the electrical system made with cotton-covered wires should have been replaced during the 50s.
This item is in original vintage condition, it has undergone a deep cleaning but nothing more.
They show, as visible in the photos, signs of use and a splendid patina of time.
