Wall Candle Holders

You’ve seen brass candle holder sconces, but have you seen these antique Victorian candle sconces? ! I think these might be one of my best finds yet. The sheer size of them for one! They are a whopping 25.5″ tall and 11.5″ wide at the widest point. They are also solid brass and quite heavy So they’d be perfect to go on either side of a large gilded mirror or painting. Now let’s talk about details! Where do I even begin! Do I begin with the beautiful cherub details in the center plaque, or the olive branches at the very bottom or the urn details at the very top? These have got to be really old because I haven’t seen a pair like this. There’s a rich patina all over and I chose to keep it that way because it adds so much character. There have been two pairs of newer screws securing the candle holder part and the bottom half. The candle holders may have to be maneuvered a little for the candles to sit upright. There’s some melted wax inside the candle holders, which can be cleaned out. This is one pair that would be the topic of conversation, guaranteed!
