The central mirror features a shapely frame embellished with scrolling acanthus leaves, floral motifs, and an elaborate crest, creating a graceful architectural presence.
Each flanking sconce is designed with a tapered mirrored backplate framed by delicate carved garlands, rosettes, tassels, and foliate ornament. Curved metal arms support two candle-style lights, allowing the mirrored panels to softly reflect and amplify the glow when illuminated.
Richly decorative without feeling overly formal, the set brings warmth, symmetry, and old-world Italian character to an entryway, powder room, dining room, or above a console. The aged gilding and subtle variations throughout lend the pieces an authentic patina consistent with their vintage character. See less
