Pair of Solid Brass Teardrop Wall Sconces by Daughter Mfg

About the Item

These brass Teardrop Sconces have an outer shell that is made from two halves made from 385 brass (also known as architectural bronze) that have been joined together using a pin and groove joinery. The material is 1/4" thick x 3" deep and was annealed and formed into shape. It has been sealed to prevent corrosion from handling with a rub/paint-on product called Protectaclear that can be easily reapplied. The front interior is an 1/8" aluminum plate in a teardrop profile that has been fitted into the two brass halves and held in position by an 1/8" groove that runs the entire profile of the piece. It has then had a tinted red/orange epoxy poured on top to create the glossy color element. The shade is a spun piece made from 260 brass and held in place with a light press fit. It is easily removable. It has also been sealed with Protectaclear. The ball-head toggle switch is a vintage AH & H product secured in place by a machined solid brass surround. The back has a floating 1/8" brass sheet to enclose the wiring with a logo stamped on it. It is mounted on standoffs and has a slight reveal around the edges that allow light to escape that will reflect off the wall it is mounted on. The sconce includes an aluminum "cleat" that mounts to the wall with either two flathead wood screws (#10) or two 6-32 machine screws that are spaced to mount on standard electrical box spacings (3 13/16" or 3 9/32" center-to-center). There is a 3/4" access hole through the aluminum cleat so that the boxes can be mounted and hard wired, but you would need to inform us this is the intended use so that we modify the back plate for you. The pieces are finished with a braided vintage cloth cord and two-prong bakelite style plug. All the sections of exposed internal wiring has been carefully sealed with shrink wrap for safety. These are one-of-a-kind prototypes that show some small imperfections, like fixture markings, from the manufacturing process. One of the sconces, on the inside, has an oxidized spot that happens to brass occasionally even after sealing. We have no present plans to produce more of these.
