About the Item

A charming Italian carved and giltwood wall sconce depicting a winged putto gracefully suspended in flight. Executed in the grand Baroque tradition, the figure displays finely modeled features, softly curling hair, and an expressive, gently lowered gaze. A delicately carved drapery wraps around the hips while the outstretched wings and dynamic posture create a vivid impression of movement. The putto raises one arm to support a single candleholder, while the opposite hand holds a finely carved bell, lending the composition an unusual and poetic character. Originally conceived as both a sculptural and functional decorative element, this wall light beautifully illustrates the enduring fascination with Baroque ornamentation during the early 19th century. The original gilding has acquired a rich, mellow patina that enhances the quality of the carving and the sculptural modeling. Good overall antique condition with expected wear to the gilding, minor losses, and old restorations consistent with age. The electrical system is no longer functional and should be rewired before use. Italy, early 19th century. Dimensions Height: 54 cm (21.26 in.) Width: 36 cm (14.17 in.) Depth: 45 cm (17.72 in.)
