Sconce

Mitchell, Vance & Co.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sconce has two arms extending from a central body, each ending in a glass globe light fixture. The central body features an ornate design with a spire on top and decorative elements hanging below. The arms are curved and have a decorative metal piece at the base of each globe. The glass globes are rounded and have a textured diamond pattern. The sconce appears to be mounted on a wall, with a portion of a frame visible to the right. The sconce is made by Mitchell, Vance & Co.
