These exquisite late Baroque giltwood mirrored wall sconces offer a glimpse into a world of opulent elegance. Each sconce features a meticulously carved and gilded wooden frame, showcasing the elaborate scrolls, floral motifs, and intricate detailing characteristic of the era. The central mirrored backplate reflects and amplifies the candlelight, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Delicate, hand-forged iron arms extend gracefully from the frame, supporting two candle cups designed to hold flickering tapers. The presence of the original or early mirrored glass further elevates these sconces, adding a layer of depth and antiquity that speaks to their rich history and enduring beauty. These sconces are not merely light fixtures; they are miniature works of art that bring a touch of Baroque grandeur to any space.
Condition commensurate with age. Minor chips, dings or losses to the plaster and gilding are present. A small loss to the upper crest of the foliate on one of the mirrors.
