About the Item

A little bit cottage, a little bit cunning—this pair of mid-20th century American tole candle sconces strikes just the right balance between charm and sophistication. Each of the three gracefully curved arms is wrapped in delicate tole vines and leaves, culminating in hand-painted tulip candle cups in punchy red and white. The wicker-wrapped backplate adds an unexpected layer of texture, grounding the floral flourish in something humbler, more tactile. They’re not electrified, but could be—though part of their appeal lies in their candlelit honesty. Equally at home flanking a mirror in a powder room or adding a flicker of whimsy to a garden room wall, they invite an offhand elegance that feels collected, not decorated. A reminder that American design history has its own romantic flourishes—and that a bit of tole and wicker, handled just right, can be more transporting than anything polished or pristine.
