Description

  • wall lights of Baroque form
  • wrought-iron
  • 54cm., 21in.
cast-iron with later polychrome decoration (lacking back plates)

Condition

Very decorative. Losses and the later painted decoration with craquelure and damage. Some applied details mis-shapen. These would make excellent wall lights. The original back plates are lost so these would require some modern fixings to be used and wired by a professional if these are to be used as wall lights.
