19th Century Gas Wall Sconces with Old Glass, a Pair

About the Item

A pair of mid-19th century Victorian sconces with brass scroll arms, crytals and original glass. Attributed to Cornelius & Co due to the characteristic castings on the gas fittings. Made in the US. Arms are a smooth brass with cast morning glories on tendrils, and the backplate is italianate with two cherubs. Original etched glass with a ruffle top. The shade holders are hung with colonial spear crystals. These would be lovely beside a mantel, in a formal dining room, or in a foyer. The sconces are in excellent condition and have been restored and wired. All gas fittings have been adapted for safe electrical use. The backplate is a replacement, for use with a modern electrical box. Each sconce takes a single standard edison bulb, 100 watt max, although you’d rarely want so much light from sconces like these. Dimensions with glass: 8? Width, 13? Extension, 11? Height Dimensions: 13 × 8 × 11 in.
