Description
Edwardian antique bronze & brass single large wall light sconce, 3 arms, by Faraday & Son, signed, 1910`s ca, English.
This antique wall light has been gently cleaned while respecting the age patina. It is newly rewired & earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to install. It has the following new components: E14 Candle lamp holders with card covers, and three clip-on lampshades. Lightbulbs included. This light can be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use this sconce in other countries although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity.
Presented here is quality antique Edwardian sconce produced by the famous English company Faraday & son circa 1910. It is stamped at the top of the frame: `F&S` a feature of ` Faraday & Son` of London, manufacturers since 1823. It is also stamped behind the frame the model number: `5`.
Made of quality cast bronze & brass, in a combination of hexagonal shapes & steps tapers to enhance the design. The design is kept `soft` with occasional curves and the sinuous arms.
This sconce has large proportions and a great projection from the wall, making it a great statement decorative piece. It would be a sculptural solution where a single light is needed say over stairs, hallway or narrow wall.
At the centre of this design is an impressively bold base in bronze of the shape of half a hexagon. The base towards the top tapers in gradual steps terminating with a decorative point. At the bottom these three sides of the hexagon curve slightly outwards and finishes with a decorative finial.
From the three sides of the base there are 3 architectural decorative columns, each has an arm extending. These three long scrolling brass arms have a square profile which rises & falls before leading to the bronze bobeche drip pan which is also square. The bobeche holds the candle sconce for the lightbulb which is also hexagonal. Each has on top the new candle lamp holder with a new cream card candle cover .
This light carries 3 standard small screw light bulbs (E14) up to 40 Watts. At present these lights are fitted & photographed with Candle clear shaped light bulbs of 25 Watts. These are included in the price. It would be possible to use other (E14) type Candle light bulbs.
This sconce is finished with quality new clip-on black silk candle lampshades. The shade is tapered and has wide pleat detailing, complete with a crepe trim top & bottom. These three shades are included in the price. It would also be possible to display without the shades for a more traditional look.
To fit the sconce to the wall there is an horizontal metal bracket fitted on the back of the frame with two holes. This hooks onto a removable metal plate with two vertical pegs that screws to the wall.
This antique sconce is in good condition. The warm antique patina has been preserved on the metal adding character. The original lacquer is present and an aged patina had developed on the brass. The frame is sound with no damage or missing parts, there are some marks & rubbing in line with age & wear as expected for an antique piece. The 3 lampshades are new and in very good condition.
Additional dimensions:
The total dimensions with shades on is: Height: 34 cm, Width: 47 cm, Depth: 39 cm
The dimensions of the frames without the shades is: Height: 33 cm, Width: 45 cm, Depth: 38 cm
The lampshade alone has the following dimensions: Height: 11 cm, Diameter at the bottom: 12 cm, Diameter at the top: 8.5 cm
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care with packing. For safe transport the shades will be wrapped separately in bubble wrap, foam and an outer layer of card. These will be stacked together. The frame will be wrapped similarly. Together these pieces would easily fit into a box with loose fill packing suitable for posting with a courier.

In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
