An ornate vintage lacquered brass wall sconce featuring a classical lyre or harp-form backplate with four slender “strings,” a flame-like anthemion crest and richly modeled acanthus scrollwork. Two dramatic scrolling arms extend outward to support pierced brass drip plates and leaf-patterned cups designed for standard taper candles.
The elaborate composition blends neoclassical symmetry with Rococo-inspired curves, making this a striking accent for a formal living room, dining room, entryway, library, music room or gallery wall. Its bright gold-tone lacquered finish provides the opulent appearance associated with Hollywood Regency interiors.
The reverse retains its original “Lacquered—Do Not Polish” and “Made in China” labels, along with a keyhole-style wall hanger. This is a decorative candle sconce and is not wired for electricity.
Measurements: 15¾" tall × 10¼" wide × 5½" deep.
