Pair of charming and whimsical Vintage Italian Monkey Wall Sconces. Each sconce features a sculptural seated monkey perched beneath an exotic palm tree, flanked by two scrolling candle arms. The form is elevated by a playful palette in subtle red, blue, green and cream with softly aged giltwood accents throughout. The hand-painted finish and carved detailing give these sconces remarkable depth, texture, and old-word charm. Animal motifs such as monkeys, parrots, and palm forms, became popular in early to mid-20th century luxury interiors inspired by exotic travel and European interpretations of tropical design
In modern homes, these sconces will work wonderfully flanking a fireplace, in a powder room, or beside a bed. They are also ideal for a dramatic effect in an entryway. The sconces are perfect for a Mediterranean, Palm Beach, Maximalist, or eclectic interiors. The layered paintwork and gilt highlights evoke the romantic spirit of Venetian and Florentine decorative arts, while the monkey figures introduce a playful sophistication associated with high-style regency interiors.
