Dating to the 1920s, this pair of wrought iron wall sconces from Mallorca, Spain, are attractive lighting options for either outside or indoors. The sconces attach to a wall by a circular backplate that is fronted by an L-shaped arm that terminates in volutes at both ends. A hoop extends from an eyelet affixed to the bottom of the arm, possibly allowing items to be hung beneath the sconces. On top of the arm is a banded basket bobeche with a cylindrical capital. A horizontal strip encircles each bobeche, just below the lightly rolled tips. The iron has been painted green, but there are small areas that have developed some oxidation, providing a lovely patination. Our Spainsh wrought iron wall sconces would make attractive illumination sources flanking an exterior doorway, a wine cellar, or in a hallway.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Fleabites and minor losses to the finish, which has led to light oxidation. The painted finish has most likely been added more recently.
