The sconce by George A. Schastey & Co. has two light fixtures with white glass shades. The glass shades are fluted and have a wavy edge. They are attached to a bronze or brass base with ornate designs. The base has a central rectangular section with a pointed top. This section is decorated with a floral pattern and small, teardrop-shaped pieces of glass or stone in various colors. Two curved arms extend from the central section, each holding a light fixture. The arms are decorated with scrollwork. The sconce is mounted on a wall with green, yellow, and white patterned wallpaper. Wooden trim borders the wallpaper on either side. A small mirror is on the left side. A larger mirror is on the right side.
