Description: We were fortunate to find a beautiful pair of early style (1900) cast iron bracket sconces in outstanding condition for their age. We were able to save and bring the original finish back to life, which is extremely rare as these sconces are typically rusted out and have to be stripped back to bare meta. These retain their original dead black finish—we just cleaned the sconces and applied several coats of wax as a preservative. The casting on these lights is also exception with fine, high detail, which is also unusual as the detail is typically rusted down or the sconces were cast in a very used mold, rendering soft details. As you can see, some of the finish is worn down revealing highlighted detail in all its glory. The sconces were completely disassembled, cleaned and received new internal piping and connectors. They also have new wiring and damp location sockets with a ground wire. The thumb screws are new and turn freely and tight down. The back plates have bracket mounts as seen in the photos, but it would be easy enough to use standard wall-mount screws. Globes are 6-inch diameter cased opal milk glass. These are new, and aren't the cheap painted versions you find at the big box. These sconces are the finest pair we've seen, and won't last long. If you are in the market, best to jump on them.
