About the Item

Pair of Electrified 18th century Wrought Iron European Wall Sconces Anonymous Europe; late18th century Iron Approximate size: 26.5 (h) x 15 (w) x 5.5 (d) in. each This exquisite pair of 18th-century wrought iron wall sconces presents a captivating blend of historical artistry and contemporary functionality. Each sconce boasts two gracefully curved arms, meticulously crafted to originally support candles, and designed to cast a warm and inviting glow. The central pillar of each fixture is adorned with intricate foliate motifs, showcasing the skill and artistry of the period's ironworkers. Adding to their elegance, downward-turned scrolling volutes flank the central element, their graceful curves culminating in a regal fleur-de-lys at the apex, a symbol rich in history and often associated with French craftsmanship. While their exact provenance remains a subject of conjecture, the design elements suggest a possible Spanish or Italian origin, though they most likely have their origin in France, a nation renowned for its mastery of decorative ironwork during this era. Expertly rewired for modern use, these sconces offer a unique opportunity to infuse any space with the timeless charm and sophisticated beauty of 18th-century design. Condition commensurate with age. Pitting due to age of the material. Several holes are drilled along the central part of each sconce’s column for mounting.

A Rustic European 18th century French faience fountain with spigot
Located in Leesburg, VA
Anonymous Mid-18th century; probably Moustiers or Nevers, France Faience and brass Approximate size: 12.25 (h) x 9 (w) x 6.25 (d) inches The present dispenser was either used as a water or wine cooler or possibly for washing hands. The original lid is lost-to-time, yet its provincial beauty remains attractive and sublime. The present example—baked with white enamel and decorated with a lovely hand-painted polychrome lattice and floral theme—is warm, elegant and rustic. The curving linear form of the flowers subtly recall the influence of Japan’s Kakiemon style present in France during the Rococo period yet is still indebted to the earlier influence of Italy’s prolific maiolica workshops. This fountain would serve as an elegant addition for display on an oak or distressed wood console table...
