Pair of Carved Giltwood Wall Sconces with Mythological Figures (Nereids or Tritons)

Description

A pair of antique carved giltwood wall sconces, likely Continental European, late 19th or early 20th century. Each sconce features a meticulously carved mythological figure, possibly Nereids due to their mermaid-like lower bodies and flowing drapery, or Tritons, supporting a rectangular platform. The figures are ornately sculpted with intricate details, showcasing a Baroque or Rococo revival style. Above the platform, a tall, rectangular backplate is fitted with a pleated fabric panel, offering a surface for display. The gilt finish, now patinated, highlights the carvings and adds to their antique charm. These sconces would have originally held candles, lamps, or decorative objects. Their design suggests they were intended for an entryway, dining room, or salon.
