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!
This wall hanging mirror with dual candle holders has about the most fantastic patina one could hope for. Antique mirrors are all the rage in the world of interior decorators currently. If not actual antique mirrors they are recreating the look of antique mirrors by intentionally distressing new mirrors to look old. See the final bunch of screenshots for reference. This one has the look! The frame has lost some of its gold gilding in just the right amount and spots to look great. It is easy to hang on the wall with a single nail or screw. You can actually use it to light candles in, they will reflect beautifully off of the distressed antique mirror. This piece would have been made at some point in the second half of the 19th century or very early into the 20th century. The neo-classical dolphins at the top of the frame are lovely. Condition is excellent outside of the obvious patination. Former owner had a wealthy old coastal Maine estate. They put some cardboard shims behind the latches that secure the mirror to make sure it didn’t rattle around. What a cool decor piece for any home!
