mirror/wall sconce

By jfowells, 8 July, 2008
Description

The candle holders are very small, and in fact may actually have been pivots for larger, swinging candle arms.  The back plate is screwed on, and appears to be the same material.  The mirror is beveled, and has a chip beneath the surface on the bottom edge.
