1899 Pair of Wall Sconces - Crystal & Brass with Patent Marking This elegant pair of antique wall sconces, dating to circa 1899, showcases the timeless charm of late 19th-century lighting design. Each sconce features a double-arm composition in patinated brass, adorned with faceted crystal pendants and glass bobeches, adding a refined sparkle to any interior. Crafted with a sense of ornate sophistication, the sconces exhibit beautifully curved arms and intricate detailing on the backplate. The drip-effect candle sleeves (one mismatched) contribute to their antique authenticity, while the glass drops capture and reflect light in a delicate, captivating way. Originating from the late Victorian period, these sconces are inscribed with "Pat. June 27th 1899," confirming their historical provenance. Their enduring appeal makes them highly collectible and perfect for enhancing classic interiors with a touch of period elegance. Dimensions: Height 18.5 cm (7.3 in), Width 19 cm (7.5 in), Depth 15 cm (5.9 in). The fixtures retain their original wiring and have not been recently tested; electrification is old and professional rewiring is recommended before use. Condition: The sconces show signs of age, including surface wear to the brass, chipping on one candle sleeve, and visible patina. The crystals are largely intact, though some may have minor nicks or oxidation on the metal pins. A rare and decorative lighting set that blends historical charm with delicate craftsmanship—an exceptional find for collectors or interior designers seeking genuine antique character.
