Condition Report

Both sconces are in good and stable condition. There are small areas with white paint drips, particularly at the back the bobeches. The drips are not immediately noticeable and do not detract from the attractive gilt bronze surface. Wiring is untested but was working when last installed in consignor's home. Wiring is located behind the "knot" decoration of the gilt bronze bow. This area measures 3 1/2 inches in width. With six shades. Additional images available upon request.
