Striking pair of hand carved wooden wall sconces featuring dramatic scrolling forms and a richly aged painted finish. The sconces are beautifully sculpted with layered foliate and flame like motifs that rise upward into an elegant crest, giving the pieces strong architectural presence.
Each sconce is fully carved from wood, including the candle arms and holders, demonstrating the craftsmanship and decorative carving techniques often associated with Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean Revival interiors. The surfaces retain a time worn polychrome finish with deep red tones and areas of natural patina that highlight the depth and character of the carving.
The ornate scrollwork arms extend outward to support candle platforms designed for taper candles, creating a warm and atmospheric lighting effect when displayed on the wall.
Pieces like these were commonly used as decorative lighting in historic California homes inspired by Spanish architecture, particularly in regions such as Santa Barbara and Southern California where Spanish Colonial Revival design became highly influential.
Mounted as a pair, these sconces create a dramatic wall feature and work beautifully in entryways, dining rooms, hallways, or flanking a fireplace. Their sculptural quality also allows them to function as decorative wall art even when not in use.
Dimensions: 10” W x 5.5” D x 17” H
