Painters placed it in still lifes and portraits, and decorators carved, cast and gilded it onto furniture, mirrors and lights. In Italian gilt-metal lighting especially, roses were shaped petal by petal and set among leaves, so that a wall light could become a small, permanent bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wall sconce is in that Florentine style. A tall crest of gilt leaves, with an open flower at its heart, rises above a central scrolled cartouche. From the centre, two curved arms sweep out to hold leaf-edged bobèches with gilt cups for the bulbs. Between and below the arms, gilt roses grow on fine stems: two open blooms near the top, more at the base, and a pair of small roses hanging from the arms. Faceted glass drops hang beneath the roses like drops of dew. In still-life painting, an open rose was a gentle reminder that beauty does not last forever, but in gilt metal these blooms will stay open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconce is in good overall condition. Its petals and drops are delicate, so we will pack it as carefully as it was made. It makes a romantic light above a dressing table, or beside a mirror in a bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage Florentine style wall sconce in gilt metal, with roses, leaves, faceted glass drops and two lights.
