The piece is hand carved wood with a gold leaf finish and the piece is illuminated.

Note: The backside is not gold-leafed which was typical because of the cost of the gold leafing and if you can't see it why spend the monies.

Note: Overall dimensions: 42" height x 21 1/2" width x 8 1/2" depth.

Note: Shelf ledge is 9 3/4" wide x 5 1/2" deep, though if you measure to the front of the curve, it is 8" deep.

Note: Requires one candelabra based light bulb, and is controlled by a line-switch.

Note: There are a few hairline cracks in the gold leaf finish and evidence of an old restoration for the cracks, but they do not detract from its beauty.1940's Italian Gold Leaf Niche Bracket Illuminated less
