Know before you buy
Yes, these fixtures have been professionally restored and rewired to ensure they are safe and functional for contemporary use.
These sconces are designed for a single bulb. Given their vintage nature, we recommend using a standard E12 or E14 base LED bulb with a warm color temperature to complement the Murano glass.
These fixtures are dry-rated, meaning they are best suited for living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms. They should not be installed in bathrooms or areas with high humidity.
These sconces have a slim profile, extending 2.5 inches from the wall. This makes them an excellent choice for narrow hallways or tighter spaces where you want a sophisticated look without significant bulk.
The brass features a warm, vintage-appropriate finish that has been preserved during the restoration process. It offers a soft, authentic patina consistent with its 1960s origin.
