A pair of Italian carved giltwood and painted pricket wall appliques 18th century

each with a green painted tôle candle-nozzle and drip-pan above a boldly scrolled acanthus carved and fluted candlearm terminating in an iron hook, the oval back plate with a beaded border and carved with leaves

Some minor surface dirt commensurate with age and some hairline cracks generally which are not too noticeable. The gilding has been refreshed in parts. One candlearm in particular is slightly loose and would benefit from the screw being tightened up. The candle-nozzles and drip-pans have some minor losses as visible from photograph. An unusual lot in overall good condition.
