Description
This vintage American Federal style wall sconce is crafted from gilt metal and features a prominent eagle motif at its center. The sconce has two arms, each supporting a light socket, designed to hold shades (not included). The backplate is adorned with classical scrolling elements. The gilt finish shows significant wear, revealing the base metal beneath, consistent with its age. This piece is ideal for those seeking to restore a period-appropriate lighting fixture or looking for a decorative architectural salvage item with historical charm. The wiring appears original and should be inspected and likely replaced by a qualified electrician prior to use.
