The construction is meticulous, with seamless joins and no visible fasteners on the front, and the sharply defined lines are a testament to careful craftsmanship. The sconces are in good vintage condition, with minor scratches and scuffs on the metal consistent with age and use, and no significant damage or evidence of restoration.
