Condition
Overall in very good condition consistent with age and use. The alabaster appears to be original, it has darkened and has scattered surface scratches. The panel on each sconce that is positioned close to the light bulb has an area of calcification due to the heat. One of the panels with the calcification has cracked and has been restored. The iron with slight oxidation. A good example.
