Crafted in Italy circa 1920, each fixture features a shaped mirrored backplate framed by rows of faceted crystal beads and surmounted by a graceful decorative crest.

Two scrolling brass arms extend from each mirrored plate and support scalloped cut-glass bobeches fitted with cream-colored candle sleeves. Numerous hand-cut crystal prisms, faceted drops, floral rosettes, and beaded swags cascade from the arms and backplates, beautifully reflecting light and creating movement from every angle. The elongated spear-shaped pendants add vertical emphasis, while the aged brass framework lends warmth and an appealing antique patina.

Recently rewired for modern use, each sconce accommodates two lights, for a total of four lights across the pair. Their compact scale makes them especially well suited for flanking a mirror in a powder room, accenting a mantel, or illuminating a hallway, bedroom, or intimate sitting area.

The matching antique sconces are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, retaining a rich assortment of period cut-glass elements and decorative crystal drops.

Dimensions: Each measures 8″ W x 5.5″ D x 13″ H. See less
