They have such an elegant look! The paint on the metal is original and shows some age and has a great patina- beautiful classy with great gilt surface, and are a little chippy and peely for a perfect time worn patina.
The metal is a combination of cast metal- spelter like heavy type or some other cast metal with very detailed casting; Each sconce is a 1 light fixture and takes a standard base bulb up to 75 watt (bulbs Not included in the sale) They have long cords with plugs and switches in line and are ready to hang and plug in your outlet or they can be installed as a wall fixtures - best done by specialist.
