Executed in hand-worked metal with rich gilt and blackened finishes, these striking sconces feature layered wheat sheaves, ribboned bows, and scrolling foliate arms supporting torch-form candle cups. Their commanding 37 1/2-inch height gives them exceptional architectural presence, making them ideal for flanking a mantel, anchoring a paneled wall, or creating symmetry in a grand entry or stair hall.

The combination of scale, classical motifs, and craftsmanship places these firmly within the mid-20th-century Italian decorative lighting tradition, with strong Neoclassical and Hollywood Regency influences.
