two of three sconces pictured

Private Collection, Palm Beach, Florida
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall in good condition. Please contact the 20th Century Design department for photos showing the three sconces. When viewed in person, the glass is whiter, less grey than in the catalogue illustration and the three ranges of bulbs impart the sconces with strong luminosity. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The glass elements with a few light surface scratches, minor edge flecks and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle handling. The metal surfaces with a few minor inherent irregularities, minor surface scratches, minor pitting and a few minor areas of oxidation, a few edge abrasions and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. One of the sconces with a small loss to the upper edge, at the proper left upper corner of the front panel, measuring approximately 1/8 x ¼ inch. When viewed in person, the sconces present with great scale and sculptural proportions.
