Pair of Antique Neoclassical Single-Arm Sconces, Signed Crescent Brass Mfg. Co

  

The sconces are signed by the Crescent B. These bronze sconces feature a shield backplate ornamented with an egg and dart border, drapery, acanthus leaves, and a central flower surrounded by beading. Above the backplate, each sconce is crowned by a seashell with beading and a gadrooned urn. Below, the fixture features more gadrooning, acanthus leaves, and a scrolling sconce arm that extends out to support a foliate bobeche. These Sconces have a nice patina to them.

It appears repairs near the bottom of the sconces were made somewhere in its storied life. Please observe photos for details. The sconces measure 4-1/2" wide, 11-7/8" tall and project 6 from the wall.
