Description
A quality pair of large hand crafted coppered brass wall sconces.
Unsigned, English Made circa 1900.
The metal work has a distinct likeness to makers such as WAS Benson and F & C Osler being handcrafted and of high quality.
Originally gas lights, the wall sconces have had the gas tubes removed and converted to electric.
The beautiful flash copper finish has aged well and the light bounces wonderfully from the crystal cut glass acorn shades and around the organically shaped metalwork.
Our wooden life size model is 6 ft 1" in. height to give a good idea of size and scale.
Arts and Crafts Lighting
Arts and Crafts lighting emerged in the late 19th century as part of the broader Arts and Crafts movement, championing a return to craftsmanship and simple, functional design in response to industrialisation. These fixtures were characterised by their honesty of materials, often crafted from hand-hammered brass, copper, or wrought iron, and sometimes paired with mica or glass shades. Designs were inspired by nature, featuring organic motifs such as leaves, flowers, and vines. Functionality was central to Arts and Crafts lighting, with a focus on creating harmonious and durable pieces. The clean, geometric lines and lack of excessive ornamentation reflected the movement's ethos of uniting beauty and practicality.
One of the most renowned designers of this era was William Arthur Smith Benson, whose lighting designs are iconic examples of Arts and Crafts craftsmanship. Benson's work combined elegant, nature-inspired aesthetics with innovative techniques, blending the movement’s ideals of beauty and utility. His creations remain highly collectible and continue to influence lighting design today.
Art Nouveau Lighting
Art Nouveau lighting, popular from the 1890s to the early 1910s, was characterised by its sinuous, flowing lines and elaborate decorative details. Rooted in a celebration of natural forms, these fixtures often featured intricate floral, botanical, and even animal-inspired designs. Art Nouveau lighting utilised materials like bronze, brass, and glass, with a notable emphasis on craftsmanship and artistic expression. Glasswork played a significant role in Art Nouveau lighting, with leading designers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany in the United States and Émile Gallé in France creating luminous stained-glass shades. These designs often showcased vibrant colours and intricate patterns, enhancing the fixtures' artistic allure.
Why These Lighting Styles Are Popular Today
Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau lighting styles remain highly sought after for their timeless beauty and historical charm. Their handcrafted quality and intricate details bring warmth, authenticity, and character to modern interiors, seamlessly blending with both traditional and contemporary spaces. Reclaimed lighting from these eras not only serves as a functional feature but also as a statement piece, adding depth and individuality to your home. Furthermore, choosing reclaimed fixtures aligns with sustainable design trends, making them a perfect choice for eco-conscious interiors.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
