Condition
Overall in very good original condition. Each sconce is illuminated from behind the glass component to produce a glittering effect of refracted light through the chisel-cut glass elements. All the sockets are functional and appear undisturbed. With some very minor evidence of surface soiling and residue, and a few very light, scattered surface scratches. The brass surfaces with some very light surface scratches, minor discoloration and residue consistent with the natural aging process of the metal and gentle use. These are largely obscured once chisel-cut glass components are installed.
