19th Century Italian Gilt Handwrought Iron Large Scale One Light Table Lamps

About the Item

This wonderful 19th Century Italian Renaissance style pair of large scale table lamps express the mastery of Florentine craftsmanship in the ancient art of working handwrought iron. These phenomenal hand forged and gilded iron fragments, turned into lamps, stand on a new elegantly molded dark wood base. The iron is thick and gilded mostly with gold leaf - both signs of very old high end quality work - and features an intricately scrolled ironwork with foliate patterns and floral motifs, a pleasant curly wrought iron work formed as an opposing pair of pierced S-shaped and C-shaped scrolls elegantly draped with acanthus leaves foliate decorations throughout, all symmetrical in their placement. The back of these light fixture pieces is just as nicely decorated as the front handwrought iron with golden hand forged iron, this allows to place these wonderful large lamps even as a center piece. Scrolls as motifs were used throughout history starting from ancient Greek and Ancient Roman period and are always very elegant sought out. These lamps show a high degree of workmanship, probably fragments recovered from a huge antique gate, today they will serve as a unique and beautiful architectural light accessory that Stand out anywhere from the bedroom to an important hall or placed on an antique chest of drawers in the living room. Newly wired, we can provide lampshades on request, wall light sconce en suite available. Measures: H 70, W 43, D 21 cm.
