Sumptuously ornate, each sconce has a fixed arm with a socket for a candle-shaped, screw fitting bulbs. Each branch terminates in a decorated drip tray bowl, with the original imitation "dripping" candle covers that slide on and off of the stems easily. The candle drips are the originals, in cream cardboard, and in good condition.

Each sconce is 26cms/ 10" deep, and weighs 900gms/ 2 lbs!
