This pair of early twentieth-century Italian wall lamps is made of hand-forged iron, a technique that enhances the artisanal taste of the time and the mastery with which the decorative furnishings for noble residences were made. The original patina, wonderfully antiqued, preserves the authenticity of the time intact, giving the wall lamps a timeless charm.
The design is inspired by floral motifs, with elegant stylised branches climbing upwards, each equipped with two candle holders, placed at different levels to create a harmonious effect. The subtly modelled leaves and the sinuous curves of the iron give a sense of lightness, despite the strength of the material. This type of decoration, typical of the period, reflects the love for naturalistic and ornamental details, which characterised the aristocratic furnishings of the time.
The measurements for each candlestick are:
• Height: 47cm (about 18.5 inches)
• Width: 27cm (about 10.6 inches)
• Depth: 9cm (approx. 3.5 inches)
They are designed to be hung on the walls, equipped with a practical hook that facilitates installation, allowing them to be easily positioned in any environment.
Originally designed to hold candles, these candelabras also offer the option of being easily converted into electric lights. The buyer can add them to the electrical system, maintaining their classic design but adapting them to modern needs.
These appliques can be placed on the walls of living rooms, entrances or dining rooms, where they add a historical and romantic touch to the environment. The noble provenance, having been found on the walls of an ancient Neapolitan castle, increases the historical value of the pair. The sale is reserved for the entire pair, perfect for period homes, villas or for those who want to recreate a classic and aristocratic atmosphere.
These pieces can be used in contexts where you want to evoke historical elegance, such as in prestigious residences or environments with a vintage or classic aesthetic.
