A SET OF FOUR TÔLE WALL-LIGHTS, PROBABLY NORTHERN ITALIAN, MID-18TH CENTURY |

with two branches; (drilled for electricity, the three lower leaves later, restorations)

Kugel Gallery, Paris

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Nice colors and design. There are the inevitable dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are some chips, minor losses and some refreshments to the painting. As stated in the catalogue, the lights are drilled for electricity. The three lower leaves of each wall-light are later. There are some restorations and some visible tin solderings to some places. For convenience, the fixation system needs to be improved by adding a piece between the lower part of the walllights and the wall (there is only an immovable screw). Some leaves are broken and need to be refixed. Very decorative.
