Sconce

Mitchell, Vance & Co.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wall-mounted sconce with two arms. The sconce has a central body that is mostly cylindrical with a decorative diamond pattern on the top half, tapering to a spire at the top. Two curved arms extend from the body to either side, each terminating in a socket with a decorative base. The sockets are topped with large, round, textured glass globes. The sconce body features three decorative, teardrop-shaped elements hanging down. The entire sconce appears to be made of metal, likely silver or another polished metal. The background is a plain wall with shadows cast by the sconce. The sconce was made by Mitchell, Vance & Co.
