These elegant sconces beautifully combine traditional florentine metal craftsmanship with the glamorous decorative language of the hollywood regency and palm beach style. Each wall light features an impressive sculptural arrangement of finely shaped metal leaves and branches. The surface has a wonderful silver finish reminiscent of traditional silver leaf gilding, creating a luxurious shimmering effect. The delicate texture of the leaves reflects the light beautifully and gives the pieces remarkable depth and movement. A particularly charming highlight is the central decoration of frosted glass berries. These soft satin-finished glass elements create a wonderful contrast against the silver-toned metal structure and add a refined, almost jewelry-like character to the design. The lights have been carefully cleaned and preserved. The candle sleeves have been professionally color-matched to the original silver finish of the sconces to create a harmonious and elegant overall appearance. The pair remains in a very good vintage condition with only minor signs of age, preserving its authentic character and charm. When illuminated, the sconces reveal their full beauty: the light reflections through the textured leaves create a warm and atmospheric play of shadows, transforming any wall into a decorative statement. The electrical wiring is in very good condition and complies with current european safety standards. Each sconce is equipped with two e14 bulb sockets. For customers in the united states, suitable e14-to-e12 adapters are included, which can easily be screwed into the existing sockets. The wall lights come with their original mounting plates for secure wall installation. In addition, they feature a traditional hanging eyelet, allowing simple installation on a wall hook if preferred. With their elegant proportions, these sconces offer a strong decorative presence while requiring little wall depth — perfect for hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, entrances, or sophisticated interior projects. A rare and luxurious pair of italian florentine wall lights combining european elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless hollywood regency glamour.
