Manufacturer: unknown
Antique brass wall sconces. Two for one price = only $70/each! These gorgeous matched sconces are 18.5 long. One has a brass lion, the other has a brass shield symbol. The metal is yellow brass and white? brass. Some of the metal is a pewter color, but it is not pewter. These are electric, but the old cloth cords are cut and need to be replaced and rewired if you want to use lightbulbs in them. Otherwise, you can use candles in them. Age est: 1910-20's. There is an old paper label that reads: 'National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Organized Nov. -- LU 1891, #514, Affiliated with American Federation of Labor'. The other part of label reads: 'Trades Council, Detroit, Mich.' Note the old State abbreviation for MI. Research suggests that local #514 no longer exists in Detroit. These sconces have not been cleaned; they have a dark patina on them which I find attractive, (one is a bit darker than the other). Elegant, and would be fabulous hung on each side of an oil painting or each side of the mantle! You could also shabby chic them white or Victorianize them with antique bronze, gold, copper or hammered silver spray paint. Rustoleum makes great spray paint. They look like they came out of a mansion in old Detroit or Grosse Pointe. est/
