Pair of French 19th Century Iron and Crystal Fruitage Sconces

About the Item

This whimsical pair of newly-electrified 19th century iron and crystal sconces were made in France. The large, cage-form fixtures have five lights each. Their ivory colored candle covers extend from bronze bobeches that are all festooned with cut crystals hanging from their lips. The sconces are a combination of clear, faceted crystals and colored glass fruit with leaves. Apples, grapes, pears and lemons-most with leaves-are intermixed in colors of amber, emerald and amethyst, making these sconces a cornucopia of beautifully-colored fruit and dazzling crystals. Originally made to burn candles, we have had the pair inspected, cleaned and wired for electricity in accordance with UL standards using UL-listed components. Whether you are a connoisseur of fine foods or a lover of finery in general, these fun and eccentric fixtures are sure to please!
