Condition

Special Characteristics

1. Hidden Swan Motif:
- The scroll arm subtly mimics the shape of a swan’s neck, complete with a raised eye detail on both sides—an artistic touch rarely seen in modern reproductions.

2. Turned Finial Spine:
- The central backplate showcases finely turned elements, including a round bulbous feature and pointed terminals, evoking classical design.

3. Integrated Hanging Ring:
- A large loop at the top allows for easy and stable wall hanging using a hook or nail.

4. Hand-Finished Surface:
- Slight irregularities and tooling marks are consistent with handmade or cast brass pieces, adding vintage authenticity.

5. Dual-Sided Detailing:
- The sconce is attractively finished from all angles, with mirrored detailing on both sides of the scroll arm.

6. Uses & Versatility:
- Perfect for entryways, hallways, or above console tables
- Pairs beautifully with traditional or maximalist interiors
- Can be used for ambient lighting with a taper candle
- Decorative enough to stand alone as wall art
