Lovely pair of Circa 1920 wall sconces. Original backplates and original shades.

These sconces have a formal Edwardian ambiance having a pewter look but with a more restrained backplate design that is so typical of the Edwardian design style. Almost reminds you of an Art Nouveau, but, not quite.

The original shades are simply unique. We believe them to be English as they are made of the finest glass, and then hand decorated with a bit of decal and painted designs. We believe the shades to be English since the mounting hole has a metal adapter to convert the hole normally used in England for their bayonet pin socket, an alternative to our American method of slip-in shades used at this time. There are very MINOR flakes to the shades. It is normal 90 year wear and tear, so very minor, but we have to mention it.

The metal of the backplates is cast zinc and aluminum with a lovely pewter finish. Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except add the light bulbs of your choice. These sconces have been completely rewired with true bakelite sockets and all new wire. We have also replaced the switches, made by Leviton in the 20's...and still made up to ONE year ago. So these switches by Leviton are becoming more rare as we note this.

Measures: 10" high, 4 3/4" wide at widest point; projects 5 1/4" from wall.

Price: $ 325.00 for the complete pair plus shipping
