Each two-arm wall sconce is worked in gilt metal with three sculptural ears of wheat rising above long folded leaves, scrolling candle branches and leaf-shaped candle cups.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe wheat sheaf motif gives the pair a strong decorative presence, with the pressed and curved metalwork creating depth and movement across the leaves and wheat heads. A scalloped circular backplate completes the layered botanical design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe sculptural wheat-sheaf design is closely associated with the decorative gilt-metal lighting of Hans Kögl and other European makers working during the mid-20th century. Although these lights are unmarked and we do not attribute them to a particular maker, they belong firmly to this distinctive tradition of botanical mid-century lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eTheir softly aged gilt finish gives the metal a warm, mellow character, complemented by the original-style faux-wax candle sleeves.
