You are looking at a beautiful Syroco wall sconce candle holder. There are 5 glass shades for the candles. I think you can use this without them as well. There is some kind of tape on the bases of the glass shades. I think it was used to keep them in. PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT ALL 20 PICTURES AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL CONDITION. Thanks for looking, Karla.
