An impressive pair of George III style carved giltwood wall sconces, each surmounted by a ribbon-tied crest above a long, draped backplate. The centre is decorated with a black-painted eagle with outstretched wings, resting above a boldly carved arrangement of acanthus leaves.
Each sconce has two scrolling gilt-metal candle arms with foliate decoration and turned candle holders, accompanied by delicate chains, floral ornaments and hanging tassels. The backplates terminate in carved cords and tassels, completing the elaborate neoclassical design.
A highly decorative and unusual pair, with an attractive aged gilt finish and contrasting black eagles.
