Double sconce with two frosted glass globes featuring a crisscross etched pattern. The base of each globe has a metal piece with a curved support extending down and outward to form the arms of the sconce. The arms are attached to a central metal piece that is decorated with a floral medallion and a dangling tassel. The sconce has an ornate design with various decorative elements, including a spire on top and a hanging pendant below. The background is a plain wall with a shadow cast behind the sconce.
