Wall sconce “Acanthus” in carved wood - hand-applied gilding, cream fabric shades - H. 57 cm

Four leafy branches, four little shades and a backplate full of acanthus: a light that looks like a piece of jewellery even when switched off.

Made for salons, stairwells and hotel corridors where light should also be decoration. Anyone furnishing in a classic style likes to hang it as a pair either side of a mirror or fireplace, and interior designers value it as the finishing touch to historic rooms.

Craftsmanship

Every ornament is worked out of the wood with carving chisels in Tuscany, not cast or pressed. The light then receives its surface in several layers, here: hand-applied gilding, cream fabric shades. Slight differences from piece to piece are part of the character of genuine handwork.

Care

Switch off the power before cleaning and only dust dry with a soft brush. Water and cleaning products attack the finish.
