The sconce by unknown artist features two identical wall-mounted light fixtures, each with a central decorative element resembling a bundle of wheat and flowers. The fixtures have a long, curved base that tapers to a point at the bottom, adorned with leaves and flowers. Two arms extend from either side of the base, each holding a small glass candleholder. The fixtures are symmetrical, with the same design on both sides of the central element. The image is in black and white, with a plain background and small numbers "81" and "82" printed below each fixture.
