Large Italian Painted Metal Four-Light Floral Wall Sconce From The Mid-20th Century - 35" x 39"

A generously scaled painted tole wall sconce in the Hollywood Regency manner, formed as a tied bouquet with four large chrysanthemum-like blossoms and scrolling stems, likely Italian, mid 20th century. The metalwork is hand cut and shaped, with serrated leaves in mottled green and russet, bronzed stems, and creamy petals tipped in soft yellow. Each pierced flower conceals a very small bulb behind the corolla, the heads unscrewing with small key fittings for access. The four hidden points of light flicker through the perforated centers, creating a soft, dappled glow that suits the era’s taste for glamour. The surface shows a timeworn patina with scattered paint losses and minor oxidation consistent with age, presenting well overall.

This large four-light floral wall sconce makes a dramatic and decorative statement wherever it’s placed. Its sculptural bouquet of metal blooms and leaves brings texture, movement, and a touch of romantic whimsy to a room. Hung above a console or mantel, it serves as both lighting and artwork, casting a soft, atmospheric glow through its petals.
