Pair of vintage two-light neoclassical style wall lights.
The sconces are adorned with finely detailed medallions depicting two mythological figures from Greco-Roman culture. One of the figures seems to recall Minerva, known as Athena in Greek mythology. The other may represent Mercury, known as Hermes by the Greeks. These details give the wall lights a unique historical and artistic charm.
The arrow shape of the sconces is not only aesthetic but also symbolic, representing guidance, strength and speed. This shape ideally combines the distinctive characteristics of the two deities, creating a perfect combination of elegance and meaning.
The tulle lampshades embroidered with gold thread add a touch of sophistication and luxury, perfectly complementing the lamps' vintage aesthetic. However, even without lampshades, the wall lights retain their extraordinary beauty, fully showing the attention to detail in their design.
European Plug (up to 250V).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
