Wall Sconce

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wall Sconce by unknown artist. The sconce has two arms extending from a central point, each ending in a socket for a light bulb. The sockets are cylindrical and black. Each arm features ornate metalwork with a floral design. A small figurine of a boy stands atop the sconce. The figurine is dark-colored and appears to be made of a different material than the rest of the sconce. The sconce has a curved, asymmetrical design with decorative elements hanging from the bottom. The background is a plain gray color.
