Pair of Fine Old Candle Sconces #S1303B: Thses sconces were originaly used with gas. The pale cream colored glass candle would have had a flame coming from it. I have replaced the gas candle top with a solid brass flame shaped finial. Each sconce comes out 12.5" from the wall and is 16" in length. The back plate measures 4.5" square. The shades have pink rose with green leaves on a cream basket weave detail. Each shade has a bottom diameter of 4.5".

A Special Pair of Solid Brass Two Arm Sconces #S113002B: The original old six sided shades are dated 1910. Each has a layer of crystal glass over white glass with a ribbed design.
