Condition Report

In very good, stable condition. These are massive and the bronze casting is thick, so the components are incredibly heavy and would need a very sturdy wall to support their weight. Each sconce weighing approximately 100 pounds. The correct overall dimensions are 94 inches high x 20 3/4 inches wide x 13 inches deep. The gilt finish very bright and even throughout. No apparent damage or losses. The wiring runs along the outsides of the candle arms; it has not been tested or inspected but was recently working in the consignor's home. Includes several screws to assemble the various components.
