Each sconce features two scrolling candle arms surrounded by sculptural foliage, dimensional flowers, berry-like accents, and richly aged painted finishes that enhance their antique character. Delicate etched floral motifs decorate the mirrored centers, creating additional depth while complementing the botanical metalwork surrounding each frame. Ornamental bobeches, sweeping leaves, floral embellishments, and dramatic finials give the pair a distinctive sculptural presence characteristic of Florentine-inspired decorative design. Presented in Original Vintage Condition, the sconces retain their authentic aged surfaces and period character and have been carefully inspected by our studio for stable construction, secure decorative elements, and overall functionality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Historical Fact \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlorentine decorative arts have a centuries-long tradition of combining elaborate ornament with skilled metalworking, painting, gilding, and mirrored surfaces. During the early 20th century, artisans continued to reinterpret historic Italian motifs such as scrolling foliage, flowers, and richly ornamented architectural forms for decorative furnishings and lighting. Mirrors were particularly effective in wall-mounted lighting because they reflected candlelight or electric illumination while visually expanding the decorative composition. The combination of botanical metalwork and etched mirror glass seen in these sconces reflects the enduring influence of traditional Italian craftsmanship on early 20th-century decorative interiors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Supply","offers":[{"title":"Painted Metal \/ Green \/ Italian Florentine","offer_id":45228854935752,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1272\/3144\/files\/1_374bbc6e-204c-4405-a1ee-976dfeccf8cf.jpg?v=1791331163","url":"https:\/\/vintagesupplystore.com\/products\/pair-of-italian-florentine-painted-metal-etched-mirror-wall-sconces-c-1920s","provider":"Vintage Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
