Masterfully constructed from solid brass with a beautiful, authentic weathered patina, these stately rectangular sconces evoke timeless early American craftsmanship. Each lantern features classic grid-pane framing enclosing vintage textured seeded glass panels that beautifully diffuse light, anchored by an elegant decorative bottom finial and a traditional hanging ring top mount.

The interiors house a dual candelabra (E12) candle-cluster socket arrangement, perfect for warm, ambient illumination. Crucially, the reverse side retains its original, vintage Underwriters Laboratories (UL) yellow paper safety certification label ("Electric Fixture / Issue No. D-23,953 / Printed in U.S.A."), proudly confirming their authentic 1950s–1970s mid-century American heritage. This documented provenance ensures they are ready-made vintage classics rather than modern reproduction imports, allowing for straightforward installation onto standard modern electrical wall junction boxes. Left completely unpolished to preserve the highly sought-after natural oxidation and historic character preferred by interior designers.

Owner's Note: These lights were recently removed from a mid-century home in Indio, California. See less
