About the Item

SATURDAY SALE (7/18) Impeccable French 1950s pivoting counterbalance swing arm wall sconce with solid brass armature that has been electroplated in 24-karat gold. The light source is inside the yellow asymmetrically spun aluminum shade with perforations. It takes a standard size Edison screw lightbulb. Up to 100 watts. Note that the yellow enameled aluminum is original and has not been repainted. The shape of the diffusor shade is very similar to designs by Vittoriano Vigano and Jean Boris-LaCroix. Rewired and revamped for USA and fitted with a custom back plate to cover a standard junction box for UL compliance. Takes a single standard Edison screw bulb up to 75 watts. Arm from ball to tip of shade is 37". From wall to where swivel joins with arm is 14 inches. Shade is 10 inches diameter and 9 inches high. Fully extended from wall forward is 36 inches. With arm level the height from bottom of backplate to top of cone is 16 inchess but will be higher if tilted. Can be hard wired or corded. Please note the wood block in image 8 has nothing to do with the fixture and was just a temporary mount while photographing.
