Hard to find Arts and Crafts LARGE garden or outside social sconces. We have seen similar ones used in home theaters for a nice effect.
Circa 1900, they were constructed as GAS and Electric sconces, like the interior chandeliers made at this time when electrical supplies were spotty at best. Looking on top of the sconce, you can see the gas valve with teeter lever valve which could be opened and closed using a long gas lighter's pole.
The overall height of this great sconce with the chain long is 38", while it's width is 9 1/4". It projects outwards 20". On the short chain fixture, the chain is about 5 inches shorter.
To get an idea of just how large these great lights are, please note the 12" ruler that is included in the pictures.
The original ball shade has a 6" fitter and is much thicker than the re-creations that are made today. It is just amazing that it has survived about 100 years.
This could quite easily accept a 250 watt light bulb or the new induction type bulbs.
We have removed all the rust and replaced perished screws. These fixtures have been re-wired to UL standards and are ready to mount. We are offering the ten fixtures, taken from an estate, finished in either an aunatural Iron and Brass...or...finishing them in a Semi-Gloss black. When these fixtures are gone, as they say...they are gone. Only ten were pulled from a lovely estate courtyard.
