Pair of Louis-Philippe Giltwood Oval Mirrored Sconces, mid-19th century, the oval surrounds twig-molded and decorated with ivy leaves, the delicate crest decorated with fern fronds and trumpet vines, the turned candle cups on vine-molded branches with ferns and flowers, h. 38", w. 19-1/2", d. 4-1/4".

Both exhibit past restorations, shrinkage cracks in the gesso, and over-painted surfaces. The mirror plates are crisp and clear. They appear to be later replacements. There are several losses to leaf tips and the edges of carved surfaces, most notably a colored-in break on each of the end candelabra arms where an additional leaf or leaves may have been affixed. Previously electrified, the candle sockets have been filled with wooden plugs that were fitted to receive electrical sockets.
