PAIR 18th C. SPANISH Carved & Gilt Candleholders/ Sconces.
<p>
An exceptional pair of 18th C. Spanish candle arms. The pair was discovered in Madrid, Spain. We commissioned a blacksmith to craft modern iron plates. The pair now serves as striking candleholders for use on a table or mantelpiece. These antique sconces are handsomely carved in wood, covered in their original gesso slip and accented with gold gilt. Crenellated tin bobeche complete the decorative look.
<p>
There is evidence of a few touch-ups to the gilt & polychrome finish, yet most of the gilt and polychrome remains in original condition. The bobeche have obvious age but they are likely later replacements as these elements were often lost and replaced. Each sconce is adjustable in height. Please note the pair is very heavy and substantial with their iron bases, each weight approximately 10 lbs.
<p>
The candlesticks stand approx: 14" to the top of the bobeche (the may be lowered if desired). The base is approx: 8.5" long x 10" tall and 5.5" wide.
