Know before you buy
Yes. While the glass elements are authentic vintage pieces from the 1940s, the fixtures have been professionally rewired to meet contemporary electrical safety standards.
These sconces are dry-rated, meaning they are designed for indoor spaces like entryways, hallways, or living rooms. They should not be installed in bathrooms or areas with high humidity.
No, these sconces are not compatible with dimmer switches. They are designed for standard on-off hardwired operation.
The backplate measures 2.5 inches by 3 inches, which is important to note if you are covering an existing junction box.
The sconces extend 8 inches from the wall, providing a significant profile that highlights the spikey glass design.
