We bought eight of these fantastic, very large, outdoor lights from one estate. They are simply a wow for impressions. Made from a brass/bronze material, they do have a mixed reddish bronze finish and the detail for these old castings, meant for outside, is pretty good with some age considerations. They do vary a bit as all old castings will.
We have totally rewired these and also added a water protection fitter which helps channel rainwater away. We changed the poorly designed mounting options and now they mount with 3 lag bolts that have decorative theft deterrent caps. You can see the 3 caps that go over the lag bolts, on the back plate. There are three of them.
These sconces are big and heavy and get bigger and heavier with the shades that are chosen to go with them.
Measurements: The backplate is 21" tall by 9" max wide before shades are added. The light protrudes 15" before shades are added.
ANT-262-50 has a 12" diameter ball shade. Its height now becomes 25" with a projection of 17 1/2" and the width of the shade which is 12". Price: $1,350.00 plus shipping. This does include the shade.
At this time, we have two of these fixtures only. When they are gone...they are gone.
