Banci, Florence, 20th Century

each with a Banci/Made in Italy manufacturer's sticker to the wall mount.
Height of taller example (excluding shades) 19 1/2 inches; height of shorter example 18 1/2 inches.

Property from the Estate of an Elegant Lady, Texas

In overall good and stable condition. No cracks, chips, or breaks. Glass bird decoration to one lamp is slightly loose in the mount. This could be easily remedied by tightening the gilt brackets that hold the bird in place.

All four shades are in good condition with no soiling to the exterior surface. Two of the shades have areas of discoloration at the interior, likely the result of high wattage bulbs having been in close contact with the shade.

Four matching metal finials for mounting are present.
