A remarkable pair of antique Art Nouveau brass electric wall sconces. Conversion to electric sockets most likely occurred in 1920s based on the original Weber sockets. The design highlights the distinct curvilinear flow and organic motifs characteristic of the late 19th and early 20th century. Crafted from solid brass, the sconces feature charming details, including a sculptural swivel arm and an ornate, detailed base, offering both historical charm and enduring style for a discerning collector or decorator seeking authentic, high-quality vintage lighting.
Functionality meets preservation in these unique pieces. They have been thoughtfully rewired with period-appropriate, cloth-covered power cords to ensure safe operation while maintaining their authentic vintage appearance. This careful restoration allows for flexible installation options: they can easily be hardwired into a wall junction box for a permanent fixture, or utilized with the included cords to plug into any standard outlet. For hardwiring we would recommend a decorative wall medallion be utilized. These sconces represent a premium blending of historical elegance and practical, modern utility.
Sconce bases are ~5" in diameter. Light bulbs will be ~10" from the wall.
