The two horns of abundance, auspicious symbols, are carved with a soft curved line, starting from two oak leaves carved at the base and culminating with the upper light point, on twisted arms ending with iron bobeches and large attachments suitable for two E27 lights.

with a splendid water gilding with pure gold leaf, this pair of two-light Italian gilded appliques dates back to the 18th century, it was obtained from two carved altar pyramids or similar friezes, as can be seen from the joints on the back, where spacer elements have been placed to be able to easily hang them on the wall.

They come from a private villa in Milan and are in excellent condition, working.
