Pair of Vintage Brass Shell Motif Sconces

Description

A charming pair of vintage brass sconces, each featuring a decorative shell-shaped backplate. The sconces are designed to hold two candelabra-style bulbs, reminiscent of traditional candle holders. The brass exhibits an aged patination, enhancing its vintage appeal. These sconces would be suitable for adding a touch of classic elegance to a hallway, living room, or bedroom. The style is indicative of early to mid-20th century design, possibly Art Deco or early Hollywood Regency given the shell motif and brass material. The wiring appears exposed and would need to be professionally installed/repaired before use.
