Pair of Continental Renaissance Revival Gilt-Bronze Figural Single-Light Sconces, fourth quarter 19th century, on molded circular backplates, the arms depicting Sirens, winged mermaids, holding aloft torches set with shade holders, handsomely molded with dolphin tails and wings, set with Victorian molded and frosted glass shades with ruffled edges, h. 18", w. 4-1/2", d. 9".

In overall very good condition. No visible losses or repairs. There is a dent to the top of one backplate and some light scattered surface scratches to both plates. One of the shades has a chip on its fitter rim. Sconces were originally electrified, but no longer have wiring or sockets.
