About the Item
Two Italian wall sconces made in early 20th century, gilded bronze is in perfect conditions, they need regular e14 bulbs and work 110-240 volts, electric wire is external. They are decorated with a Medusa. The Gilded Bronze Wall Sconces are exquisite and opulent lighting fixtures that harken back to the neoclassical style of the Louis XVI period. These wall sconces beautifully blend elements of classical design with the craftsmanship and elegance of Italian artistry.
The sconces are crafted from gilded bronze, a luxurious material that exudes a warm, golden hue, adding a touch of regal splendor to the pieces. Gilding involves the application of a thin layer of gold onto the surface of the bronze, enhancing its visual appeal and highlighting intricate details in the design. The distinguishing feature of these Italian wall sconces is the Medusa motif. Medusa, from Greek mythology, is typically depicted as a fearsome creature with snakes for hair. In this context, the Medusa head or medallion would likely be intricately crafted and prominently displayed at the center of each sconce. The use of Medusa in decorative arts often symbolizes protection or a ward against evil forces. These Wall Sconces represent a harmonious blend of classical influences, Italian artistry, and the opulence of the early 20th century, they are not only functional sources of light but also exquisite works of art that embody the timeless elegance of the Louis XVI style.
