The silhouette is reminiscent of a 17th-century Italian church candelabrum, exuding grandeur and height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is superbly executed and is the highlight of the piece, as captured in your detailed macro photos: a heavily distressed silver-leaf with burnished antique gold wash, with intentional black rub-through, crackle, and time-worn patina revealing ochre and dark umber beneath. The texture is dry, chalky, and antique, with gold leaf peeking through every flute - the exact coveted finish seen in Tuscan villas and Hollywood Regency interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamps are fitted with a double-cluster pull-chain socket in polished brass for double illumination, allowing for low and high light, with original ball pull-chains. The original brass finials and hardware are intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetaining their original couture parchment shades. The shades are custom hand-painted: a creamy ivory lacquered ground with a wide, mottled verdigris blue-green border at top and bottom edged with burnished gold, and a hand-painted central acanthus cartouche in silver-gilt with scrollwork. The interior is gold-lined to cast a warm, flattering glow. When lit, the shades illuminate beautifully and complement the silvered base perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 31 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDiameter: 16 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eSold As:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSet of 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003ePower Source:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHardwired\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eVoltage:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e110-150v\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eLampshade:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eBaroque\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eBrass, Gold Leaf, Silver Leaf, Wood, parchment\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eMid-20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" type=\"button\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51586610692402,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/f_51442722_1786750878615_bg_processed.jpg?v=1787005433","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/pair-of-italian-baroque-barley-twist-table-lamps-silvered-and-giltwood","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
