No cracks, breaks, missing casting pieces, or welds. The finish shows a beautiful, authentic aged gold-colored paint patina over dark cast bronze/brass. •  The Hardware:  Features rare, authentic early 20th-century porcelain candelabra sockets stamped with the American maker "ARROW". The sockets sit on solid brass adjustable riser pipes. •  Restoration Note These sconces are being sold as-is for restoration or rewiring. One center socket is currently missing its inner terminal insert and wire harness. The remaining original cloth-insulated wiring is heavily frayed, degraded, and non-compliant with modern building codes. They must be fully stripped and re-wired with safe modern insulated wiring and a chassis ground before residential installation. Faux candle sleeves are aged/yellowed and would benefit from cosmetic replacement. Please review all photographs carefully to confirm the raw condition of the reverse casting channels, wiring layout, and hardware. Perfect winter restoration project for an antique dealer, luxury interior designer, or historic home restoration enthusiast. Ships secure and heavily padded! 💎 Rarity Assessment •  The Casting (Common to Scarce):  The overall Louis XVI 3-arm design is a classic European and American revival favorite. While individual pieces appear occasionally on the market, finding an intact, matching pair elevates the market status from common to scarce. •  The Electrical Component Rarity:  What makes this pair uniquely interesting to regional collectors is the intact porcelain "ARROW" brand sockets with manual thumb-screw brass adjustment sleeves. This confirms that while the design is purely 19th-century French, the actual manufacturing and component assembly took place in the USA during the 1910s to 1930s Golden Age of Lighting. Keep in mind the shipping price also covers handling fees, packaging materials & time, not just postage.
