About the Item
A pair of French sconces from the 1940s, each shaped in the form of a stylized scallop shell. Cast in chalk-hued, textured plaster with irregular edges, a single exposed bulb rests cradled in the shell’s lower curl.
Ideal for flanking a mirror or anchoring a hallway, casting an ambient, upward-facing glow.
Condition: Good vintage condition, with surface wear and minor discoloration throughout. The backs retain their original metal wiring loops for hanging. These sconces have been professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with new sockets. Accepts one E12 light bulb each.
