About the Item

This exceptional Italian wall bracket, handcrafted in the early 20th Century, exemplifies the Baroque Revival style with its exuberant form and rich detail. Modeled in glazed Majolica pottery, the piece features a cherubic putto cradling a vine laden with fruit, surrounded by garlands and classical scrollwork. The lustrous mustard-yellow glaze enhances its sculptural presence, highlighting the fine craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century Italian ceramics. Substantial in scale and weight—approximately 75 to 80 pounds—this wall-mounted bracket is both decorative and functional. Its ornate design makes it ideal as a wall shelf, architectural accent, or standalone objet d’art. Whether displayed indoors or outdoors, it commands attention and adds a touch of opulence to any setting, from a curated interior to a lush garden terrace. Signed by an unknown artist, the piece remains in remarkable condition—free of chips or cracks, with some age-related crazing—attesting to its superb preservation. This majestic bracket is a celebration of classical elegance and whimsical charm, perfectly suited for sophisticated spaces from Palm Beach to Provence. DIMENSIONS: 26.5" H x 19.5" W x 11" D.

Pair of Vintage Bronze Putti Candelabra, by United Wilson

Pair of Vintage Bronze Putti Candelabra, by United Wilson

By United Wilson Co. 1

Located in North Palm Beach, FL

An impressive and exceptionally well-executed pair of vintage multi-light figural candelabras by the celebrated United Wilson Porcelain Factory, produced in the late 20th century as part of the company’s sought-after Ormolu Collection. Inspired by the opulence of 18th-century French decorative arts, these monumental candelabras capture the theatrical elegance of Louis XVI Revival and Belle Époque design while offering the scale, craftsmanship, and visual impact prized by today’s luxury interiors market. Each candelabra is centered by a finely cast putto rendered in a deep chocolate-brown patinated bronze finish, seated dynamically upon an elaborate Rococo Revival base. The figures form a true mirrored pair — a hallmark of superior foundry production — with each cherub balancing an expansive gilt botanical branch that sweeps upward into a dramatic bouquet of open lily blossoms, curling stems, and sculptural buds. Every fully opened lily functions as an individual candleholder, creating a layered canopy of light and movement reminiscent of grand European palace interiors. The contrast between the dark patinated figures and the luminous gilt-metal floral elements creates the distinctive two-tone aesthetic associated with traditional French ormolu. The richly ornamented bases feature scrolling acanthus leaf feet, beaded borders, diaper-pattern latticework, and oversized cartouches, all executed with remarkable casting precision. The detailing throughout — from the putti’s expressive features and musculature to the ribbed petals and winding foliage — reflects the uncompromising craftsmanship that made United Wilson’s luxury revival pieces highly desirable among collectors, designers, and international clientele during the 1990s. Stamped to the underside with the authentic crowned “JUWC 1897...
