Lot 146:
Description
This lot consists of a matched pair of three-light wall sconces in a classical design. The frames are constructed from cast metal, likely bronze or brass, featuring a warm, aged patina and ornate scrollwork detailing. Each of the three arms on both sconces terminates in a cut-glass bobeche and a faux-candle sleeve designed with realistic-looking wax drips. The sconces are elaborately decorated with various crystal components, including faceted teardrop pendants, pointed prisms, and octagonal button swags. The fixtures are electrified and are currently wired with external cords ending in standard US two-prong plugs. The wiring is a later modification, with visible wire nuts and electrical tape on the reverse of the backplates. 11″ H x 11″ W x 7″ D.
Location: 20B
Condition report:
The metalwork shows a characteristic aged patina with minor areas of oxidation and surface wear. Both sconces are missing crystal components; several faceted drops and segments of the prism swags are absent. The faux-candle sleeves show light discoloration consistent with age and use. One glass bobeche appears slightly askew. The wiring is functional but is currently configured with external plugs, which may require professional hardwiring for traditional wall installation.
