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.
