Signed RB Company, this antique cast iron bracket sconce has been reclaimed and will make a statement in any situation. Believe the chippy red paint is original although there are faint traces of white. The back plate has an egg and dart motif popular around the turn of the 19th century. The socket shell is original; the socket itself is a period correct replacement. Wiring is new. The sconce was cleaned of rust and grime, given several protective satin coatings, then a hand rubbed top coat of museum quality wax. The thumbscrews are new and turn freely and are tight.
