Large Heavy Cast Iron Sconce Light Victorian Municipal Building 1900
A unique, very heavy yet delicately featured cast-iron wall sconce. This one-of-a-kind light is a substantial piece of art. Without the globe the sconce weighs nearly 10 pounds. This sconce likely originated on a late 1800s to early 1900s public building. The style is late Victorian or early Art Nouveau. The stock globe you see is a satin opal and comes with the sconce unless you otherwise specify. NEW: Optionally, you may choose a flame, cased-milk glass opal, or larger 7-inch French crystal inside sandblasted globe. The flame and cased glass are available for no additional charge. See the photo with the black background for a visual on the shade options. The imperfections you see in the iron are from the casting process and hammer work, and are part of the character and uniqueness of this piece of history. Wear is consistent with age. This sconce was restored and is ready for another century of illumination. The restoration process was painstaking. The sconce was first stripped to bare iron and then heated to 450 degrees and quenched in oil to give it a blacksmith-style finish. This process impregnates the metal with oil, which then turns black in the heat. It’s an old-school process that lets the most minute detail in the metal show through-paint would soften or even hide the details. The sconce was finished with two coats of hand-applied wax buffed to a semi gloss. The 3.25 inch fitter globe has a satin finish is hand blown and made in the USA-it’s not a cheap import. Inside you’ll find a new porcelain socket and wiring. As with all electrical items, especially older ones, this light should be checked and installed by a professional electrician. This heavy sconce light is about 17 inches high to the top of the globe, about 6 inches wide across the back plate and projects about 9 inches.
