Product details
19th Century Giltwood Italian Feather Wall Lights
An exceptional and highly decorative pair of 19th-century Italian giltwood twin-arm wall lights, hand-carved with striking symmetry. Each sconce features an elegantly arched, stylized feather plume backplate that retains an exquisite, aged water-gilded patina
The deeply articulated carving showcases a wonderful sense of organic movement, terminating in a bound ribbon motif at the base. Sweeping from the lower stem are two scrolling timber candle arms, topped with beautifully detailed leaf-carved wooden sconces and bobeches. Offered in magnificent antique condition, these statement pieces beautifully bridge the gap between classic Louis XVI elegance and timeless country house charm.
We have two pairs of these beautiful wall lights available, all four lights are shown in the second to last image.
Each light holds two e14 (small screw in) lamp holders.
Height 50 cm, Width 31 cm, Depth 18 cm
(approximate measurements as each light is individually hand carved)
All our items are genuine antique/vintage pieces and therefore can have some signs of age related use or wear, this adds to the character and uniqueness of each of them.
We try to give accurate measurements wherever possible, however where items are unusual shapes please trust our approximate dimensions to be as close as possible
These lights are wired and in full working order, but as with all our lighting we would always suggest they are tested by a qualified electrician
