Pair of Venetian Style Wall Sconces | French-Made | Circa 1960

Dramatic and theatrical, this pair of French-made wall sconces captures the spirit of the Venice Carnival with stylized masks, ribbed torsos, and flamboyant detailing rendered in gilt tole. Likely crafted circa 1960, these Venetian-style fixtures bring a sense of baroque fantasy and mid-century glam to any space.

Each sconce features two candle-style bulb sockets set in floral-inspired cups with curling frond arms. The sculptural forms are both bold and whimsical—an unmistakable nod to Italy’s masked traditions, with a surrealist edge that reads as both regal and avant-garde.
