The original main aluminum metal castings appear to be old as do some of the electrical components and fasteners.

We feel these have likely been re-plated or refinished in recent times and then mounted on nice 'door' panels of cherry wood.

The shade is a die-cut thin translucent plastic material that is curve bent to easily slip into the metal casting base for the pictured appearance. Quite a good look actually.

While not unmolested originals, these vintage-looking sconces offer a terrific look for your screening or media room and any room needing a pair old Hollywood looking vintage decorative wall sconces.

They do show a great Deco looking form and the look is definitely from a vintage Deco movie theater.

Each sconce has an A4 household lamp socket, as well as two other 'nite light' miniature, sized screw-in sockets to add various touches of color that may fit your room decor.

Change the lamps, change the look and color.

Our source tells us that these originally came out of a mid-century movie theater mounted as lobby sconces.

Over the years they have been cleaned, refinished or re-polished and cherry wood framed panel mounted, but we do see deep evidence of age in the design, some original fasteners, and brass electrical sockets.

Modern wired and working with an inline wired sliding dimmer switch with an on/off position for each.

A great look for an easy price.

As with all of our pieces, a signed and sealed "Certificate of Authenticity" is included with your purchase.

NOTE:
Due to the nature of online photo reproduction, we cannot be responsible for exact photographic color, hue, contrast and flash and nonflash exposure accuracy in our photos. While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color tone and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern!

In the interest of antique presentation and historical accuracy, we do not alter or modify our electrical, optical, mechanical or electronic antiques, with the exception of some vintage light fixtures (which we DO correctly convert internally to modern electrical working household standards).
