The cast brass frame features an oval mirror bordered by a laurel-leaf surround and crowned with a stylized shell crest, elements derived from Federal and late 18th-century classical design.

Dual candle arms extend from the lower register, each fitted with a turned bobeche and shaped drip plate, demonstrating the precision of mid-century brass foundry work. Purposefully cast rather than stamped, the sconce displays the weight and detailing characteristic of better reproduction workshops of the era.
