1. Design & Features:
- Ornate and theatrical in all the right ways, this vintage wall sconce evokes the opulence of 18th-century European interiors.
- The piece features a symmetrical design with two scrolling arms, each culminating in a stylised candle holder with embossed drip pans.
- The central backplate is shield-shaped with Rococo flourishes and acanthus-like detailing, framing the composition beautifully.
- This sconce is purely decorative and intended for taper candles. It is not wired for electricity but could be modified by a professional if needed.

2. Material:
- Crafted from a lightweight non-magnetic metal—most likely spelter (a zinc-based alloy)—with a gold-toned finish, it brings the look of gilded brass without the weight.
- Due to its construction and finish, the sconce likely dates from the mid-20th century, made during a period when Baroque and Rococo Revival styles were in vogue again.
