Tin Candle Sconce

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative metal plate design. The image shows a rectangular metal plate with scalloped edges, symmetrical perforations forming patterns along its surface. At the top, there is a hole suggesting it could be hung on a wall. The metal features an additional platform with edges at the base, and a cylindrical piece is affixed to this platform. The drawing includes two inset graphics; one depicting the side view of the platform base with the words "SIDE SECTION OF 'C' C.E.C." and another showing a simplified, labeled diagram with the term "SUPPORT BASE BACK." The style of the drawing is technical and illustrative.
