A pair of porcelain wall lamps with 3 chandeliers
It is a pair of 2 porcelain wall lamps with 3 chandeliers each. They have a "crown N" most likely a Capodimonte and not Dresden. They are both in perfect status. I copy here a link with respective marks translation (https://appletreedeals.com/capodimonte-italian-porcelain-2/capodimonte-porcelain-history-makers-marks/)
They must be half meter long and around 30cm wide.
Inherited
Yes

Moreover, the pair of lamps seems to be an antique considering the manufacturing year and also their rarity. Are you aware of a similar piece in the market?
Hi Evangelos,
I appreciate the opportunity to revisit my appraisal, after all, it's entirely possible I may have missed something in my research, and to confirm that the values Mearto uses for our appraisals are Fair Market ones based on recent auction prices; we only look at retail prices for comparable examples in the event no similar examples can be found. I found several one- and two-light Capodimonte wall sconces on LiveAuctioneers, all selling for less than $200 each. I can draw some similarities between this and Meissen three-light sconces of probably earlier manufacture that are worth closer to $1,000 for the pair. I'm willing to increase my valuation on these to $700-1,000 for the pair and have made this change.
If you see comparable examples selling at auction for more money, please share the link with me so I can revisit further.
Thanks,
Delia
Thank you for the prompt feedback, however, I am sure that the appraisal is not correct/fair. First reason of my strong opinion is the price that were bought and secondly the year of their manufacturing if analysing the attached mark (also considering the link i provided). The value estimation given is very poor and I am not interested in selling in this price.
