Restored 1890s Pair of Oversized Silvered Bronze Sconces by EF Caldwell

This pair of oversized silvered bronze sconces by EF Caldwell is a testament to the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the late 19th century. Made in America during the late 1890s, these sconces showcase the artistry of the era.

The sconces feature intricate metalwork, characterized by repousse, or hand hammered detailing. This technique involves shaping and ornamenting the metal by hand, resulting in a textured and decorative surface. The use of silvered bronze adds a touch of opulence and elegance to these fixtures. Each sconce boasts a metalwork back plate with four arms, providing ample space for the placement of candles or light bulbs. The four-arm design not only enhances the sconces’ functionality but also adds a sense of balance and symmetry to their appearance. Each sconce requires four candelabra light bulbs. These lights are wired and ready to ship. Priced as a pair.
