A Pair Of Early C20th Italian Giltwood & Toleware Wall Sconces

About the Item

A Fine Pair of Italian Giltwood and Toleware Wall Sconces from the Early 20th Century in the Empire Style. The sconces are adorned with delicate bow and floret details in giltwood. The backplate is designed as a spray of toleware wheat heads, with the lower leaves crafted in giltwood. The lower section features a small bow clasping the wheat stems, and it terminates with elegant swags and tails. The S-shaped sconces are embellished with attached leaf details, ending in bobeche and candle nozzles. They closely resemble a set that sold at Christie's, South Kensington, in 2008. The lights have been professionally rewired and are ready for installation.
