About the Item

Pair of 18th-century Italian Gilt Wood Carved Appliques with elegant cornucopias and Foliate and Floral Intaglio. in good condition, are two very rare twisted cornucopias filled with carved flowers and plant and leaf motifs. The two horns of plenty or cornucopias, well-known auspicious symbols, are carved in a soft, curved line, starting from two carved oak leaves at the base and ending with the upper light point, on culminating twisted arms with iron bobeches and large attachments suitable for two E27 lights. With beautiful water gilding with pure gold leaf, this pair of two-light Italian gilded wall sconces dates back to the 18th century, was presumably made from two carved altar pyramids or similar friezes, as can be seen from the joints in the back, where spacers have been affixed so they can be easily hung on the wall. They come from a private villa in Milan, northern Italy and are in excellent, working condition. Periodo: 1750 circa Height: 80 cm Width: 38 cm Depth:- 11cm
