Wall Sconce

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wall Sconce by an unknown artist. The sconce has two arms extending from a central piece. The arms are curved and ornately decorated with floral designs. Each arm has a socket for a light bulb at the end. A small figurine of a cherub sits atop the sconce. The cherub is dark-colored and appears to be made of a different material than the rest of the sconce. The sconce is made of metal and appears to be silver or chrome in color. The background of the image is a plain wall. The sconce casts a shadow on the wall behind it. The image is in black and white.
