Pair of Candle Holder Style Wall Lights with Melted Wax

Pair of Candle Holder Style Wall Sconces. Bronze and gilded brass with engraved glass globes. An important pair of decorative wall sconces reminiscent of grand candle torches. Each sconce features a cylindrical shaft mimicking a candle covered in melted wax, mounted on a structure of bronze and gilded brass. The upper part is topped with a spherical globe in satin glass, engraved with floral patterns, diffusing a soft and warm light. The very realistic dripping wax decoration gives the whole piece a theatrical character reminiscent of Renaissance-style lighting or castle decor. The circular wall plates and turned elements in gilded metal add elegance and refinement to this pair of large decorative sconces. Condition. Good overall condition in terms of presentation and apparent functionality. Some signs of use and slight wear of patina consistent with age. Globes in good condition as visible in the photographs. Electrical installation should be checked according to current standards before use. Dimensions. Height: 98 cm. Width: 29 cm. Depth: 39 cm. Period. Mid-20th century, in the style of neo-Renaissance lighting or castle decor.
