Overall in good condition. The coloration varies slightly between the two sconces offered in this lot, as seen in the catalogue illustration, one presents a slightly more yellow hue. The surfaces with minor shallow scratches and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The edges with minute chips and scattered minor losses along the edges, the longest measuring approximately 2 x ½ inches along the proper right bottom edge of one sconce and not visible when the sconce is installed. The sconces are sold without any electrical fittings. Two highly decorative pieces that epitomizes the artist’s reinterpretation of baroque ornament. ---
