A pair of hot air balloon sconces made in Italy in the late 19th century. The sheet metal structure is decorated with embossed scrollwork, lending a refined, period-defining look. The sconces are embellished with glass necklaces and pendants, which create evocative plays of light when the two internal lights are turned on. Ideal for ambient lighting, these sconces are perfectly suited to period settings or interiors requiring a touch of historic elegance. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
