Found at a flea market in Switzerland. These candle holders are made from hand cut planks of light wood (pine or nut wood), slightly carved on the front side to create a slight 3-dimensional effect and the brackets holding the candle cups are attached to the backs with screws and the candle cups and the back pieces are nailed together. The backs are topped off with small iron rings for hanging. All the sections of he front of the sconce back, the brackets and candle covers are all thickly painted using bright but natural colored backgrounds, and details of flowers and leaves, edge trims and small accents - a very rustic, traditional, old world country European style. The backs were left unpainted and unlacquered. These sconces measure 21" high (to the top of the hanging rings), 6 3/4" wide and 7 1/2" deep and weigh only 11.5 oz each. A lovely set to add interest and cheer to a space. See less
