This was in an elderly woman's house who passed, and they had an estate sale. House approx built in 1930's or earlier. Was filthy beyond belief, got it for 10$. Cleaned it to a beautiful bright silver with markings on the inside of each lamp sconce of 3593 or 3953 I forget now, was hard to make out. The pole was a cream color. I restored it before questioning the value to a black pole, and aged the sconces with black aswell. Talking to friends we were debating if the sconces are nickle, pewter? Unsure, but definitely a metal, I filed a little piece that was hanging on the inside from the mold over cast. The detail is beautiful I can't find anything comparable online. Lamps are very very fragile, unsure if they're glass or a glass type compound, or possibly just very thin.
