A wonderfully sculptural Italian wall sconce composed of hand-formed gilt metal leaves arranged in the form of an open flower.
Broad, curling metal petals radiate outward from the center, creating an expressive three-dimensional silhouette. The original-style aged gilt surface enhances the relief of the metalwork and gives the fixture a warm, softly reflective quality when illuminated.
Characteristic of the exuberant decorative lighting produced in Italy during the mid-20th century, this sconce functions as both lighting and wall sculpture. Particularly striking in an entry, powder room, hallway or intimate seating area.
This sconce is in very nice antique condition with only minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The photos accurately depict the condition.
