Above the shaft sits a draped urn with tassels and a pine-cone finial, on a collar decorated with a band of rolling scrolls like breaking waves. Two leaf-cast arms bend out to the sides, and each ends in a fluted cup with a beaded drip pan and a cream candle sleeve. That wave-like border is called a Vitruvian scroll, named after Vitruvius, the Roman architect whose writings inspired classical design for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconces are in very good vintage condition, with light tarnish on the arms.
