About the Item

Rare and decorative, 19th Century bronze wall sconces with winged siren motif, original gaslight fixtures A truly special find: this striking pair of 19th-century wall sconces features mirrored, left- and right-facing winged sirens, each holding a torch aloft as if standing eternal guard. Crafted in solid bronze, these pieces combine classical mythology with exquisite craftsmanship, offering both decorative impact and historical charm. The casting is of exceptional quality, note the intricate detail in the feathers, the flowing lines of the tails, and the serene, almost dreamlike expression on each figure’s face. Originally made as gaslight fixtures, and now they are ready for electric use. More than just lighting, these are sculptural statement pieces. Whether flanking a mirror in a grand hallway, adding character to a study or library, or creating mood lighting in a salon, their presence is unmistakable, both elegant and commanding. Thanks to the convenient mounting hole on the backplate, installation is quick and simple. Pieces of this rarity and decorative appeal are seldom seen, a genuine treasure for lovers of antique lighting and sculptural design alike. Mind you, they will be wired for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and when purchased by an American client we are happy to also attach American powerplugs. This antique pair is great value for money. Also, because perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 14 x 7 x 9 inches. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again). To explore all our 1000+ listings, simply click the button labeled 'View All From Seller’.
