Description: Pair of Italian Neoclassical Egyptian Revival giltwood wall sconces featuring finely carved sphinx heads, draped swag motifs, and elegant faux-marble panels. Each sconce has two gilt-metal arms designed to hold candle-style lights, blending rich textures with dramatic form. The contrast of gold leaf against the black faux marble creates a striking visual effect, enhancing their timeless appeal. Their elongated design with footed bases and detailed carvings makes them statement pieces suitable for sophisticated interiors. Both retain their original vintage condition with graceful age and patina that adds to their character.
Fun Historical Fact: The Egyptian Revival style first gained popularity in Europe during the early 19th century after Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign, and it saw renewed interest in the 1920s following the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Italian artisans carried the tradition into the mid-20th century, creating decorative works like these sconces that combined exotic symbolism with neoclassical refinement.
