Please note that there are subtle differences in the color of the illuminated turtleback tile register between lots 10 and 11. The pair of sconces comprising lot 11 show a brilliant green color in the turtleback tiles when illuminated. One sconce with no visible cracks to the glass and the other with two cracks to the glass in the leaded glass. Both sconces with heavy surface soiling throughout to the glass elements. With replaced sockets which are fitted with cardboard outer casings. The four cardboard socket casings to one backplate show soiling and wear. Each sconces is accompanied by what appears to be two later patinated bronze plates that fit into the receptacles of the top and bottom as well as one modern white glass diffusing plate. This lot with one additional white glass diffusing plate. Each with replaced mounting hardware.
