Pair of carved wall sconces with tulip-shaped shades, Spanish School, 20th century Carved and polychromed wood with glass shades. Dimensions per unit: 93 x 59 x 49 cm. A striking pair of vertical wall sconces decorated with exuberant plant motifs, scrolls, and naturalistic elements carved in high relief. The metal arms support three flame-shaped shades that intensify the theatrical and dramatic effect of the piece. The carving features a complex succession of intertwined leaves, fruits, and organic forms, creating a powerful visual dynamism accentuated by the chiaroscuro of the forms. The combination of carved wood and electric lighting reflects the decorative adaptation of Baroque and Rococo models to 20th-century historicist interiors. The ornamental richness and monumentality of the pieces evoke palatial settings and theatrical decorations of great visual impact.
