Of bold and architectural design, these finely carved sconces retain much of their original gilding, framed by acanthus sprays, fruiting swags, and surmounted by a shell cresting. The scrolling arms and classical ornament are characteristic of Kent’s grand Palladian interiors, reflecting his influence on mid-Georgian decorative taste, where furniture and fittings became synonymous with architectural design. Fitted with brass rings for wall-hanging.
