About the Item

Cast Aluminum sconces with original polychrome enamel finish. Neogothic style. Single Arm. Shield form backplate. These sconces are in a very common style but unusual for their aluminum construction, they are strong but incredibly light. They were made during a time period before world war II when cheap aluminum was available and was being promoted in the decorative arts.
