Description

A superb pair of 17th century silver gilt carved wall sconces of large proportions. The sconces have a cartouche like back with scrolls and foliate decorations with the top and bottom having a mirrored scalloped design. The arms extend significantly, and are carved with scrolls and further foliate decoration. The sconces have some losses to the gilding and ware, along with some old wood worm holes in a couple of small areas, commensurate with age. Overall the pair are in excellent condition and are very decorative and sculptural.
