This listing is for an antique pair of matching mission arts and crafts wall sconces. Overall height is a little over 9 1/2 inches tall. The base of each fixture measures approximately 5 1/8 inches.The edges of the slag glass is definitely rough in some spots from when it was cut. One of the front edges on the lamp is pulling apart some but it could be bent back into place. Around the top part of the fixture where the socket goes some of the metal extends out I think this is just how t...hey put it together and fit the socket in. It does this on every side to different degrees.These were quite dirty when I found them! The glue that had held the slag glass in place has corroded over the years and was no longer holding the glass in place. I did bend the clips that held the glass in place back and removed all of the panels to wash them. I only used soap and warm water. There is some glue in some spots but I did not want to use anything more abrasive to remove what was remaining. The brass fixtures do need some TLC. I just used a damp cloth to wipe them down. There are some paint speckles on them from someone painting near them. I will let the new buyer of these fixtures clean or restore them as they see fit. Since these are an estate find they are being sold as is. We have not attempted to hook them up to ensure they work. Additionally I cannot guarantee what someone may have used before to try and clean them.To take photos I did replace the glass but did not bend it the clips back in place as I don’t want to bend them to many times. These lamps will be shipped without the glass in them. As I do not want the glass to break. Each panel will be wrapped separately but shipped all together.Please check out all of the photos and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
