Pair of Vintage Silvered Metal Wall Sconces — Pierced Oval Backplate with Scrolled Ring Arm, Pleated Shades

Silvered finishes offered French and continental lighting makers an alternative to gilding through much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries — cooler in tone, better suited to interiors built around silver rather than gold accents. This pair works in that cooler palette, its pierced, foliate-cast backplate doing the ornamental work that gilt scrollwork does elsewhere.

This is a pair of single-arm wall sconces in silvered metal, each with an oval backplate pierced and cast in a running leaf-and-lozenge pattern, from which a plain ring-form arm curves out and up to a scalloped drip-pan socket. A pleated ivory-white fabric shade sits above each socket. We describe the metal as silvered metal per the seller's description, since no alloy stamp or maker's mark is visible in the photographs supplied.

They reach us as a matched pair, both backplates and arms sound, with the silvered finish showing the soft, even tarnish expected of genuine age rather than a recent refinish. We pass them on ready for their next wall rather than repolished. Mounted either side of a mirror, headboard, or doorway, the pair restores the symmetry these fittings were designed to create.

In plain terms: a pair of silvered metal wall sconces with pierced oval backplates, no date claimed, each standing about as tall as a wine bottle, rewired for safe, ready-to-use lighting, with pleated shades included.
