Lot 543: A Pair of Neo-classical Style Ebonised Wood and SIlver Candle Sconces
A matching pair of wall-mounted candle sconces of circular form. Each backplate is constructed from turned wood with a black ebonised finish, decorated with a silver overlay. The metalwork is worked in a Neo-classical foliate acanthus leaf pattern. Each sconce features a central candle socket currently containing a cream-coloured wax taper. These traditional candle holders are non-electric and are designed in a style consistent with late 19th or early 20th-century decorative arts. No maker’s marks or inscriptions are present on the visible surfaces.
