Condition

Some slight scratches on the metal due to the antiqueness. The uniqueness and charm of being hand-cast makes them similar but not identical. The left-arm on one of the sconces has been repaired (see image). All crystals are complete and in good condition. The sconces have been rewired to meet US electrical standards. Each sconce takes three candelabra light bulbs. We recommend using LED lights because they help preserve antique fixtures longer. Antique sconces must be adapted to modern houses. Please check with your electrician or contractor for additional specifics regarding installation.
They have piercings on the top and bottom to screw onto the wall. Your contractor will know what screws to use depending on the type of wall. We will be happy to provide more close-up images at your request.
