Know before you buy
Yes, they have been professionally rewired for modern safety standards and include new brass backplates, making them ready for standard electrical installation.
Absolutely. These sconces use E12 candelabra base sockets and are fully compatible with modern LED bulbs, which we recommend for energy efficiency and to keep the fixtures cool.
The brass retains its original finish, which has developed a beautiful, authentic aged patina over the decades. We have preserved this character to maintain the sconces' vintage 1950s charm.
Each socket is rated for a maximum of 25 watts. Since you are using LED bulbs, you will easily stay within this limit while achieving your desired brightness.
Measuring 8 inches high by 9.75 inches wide, these fixtures are compact enough for smaller spaces like hallways, powder rooms, or flanking a mirror, while the three-light design provides substantial illumination.
