The mountings in pressed brass are chromed on the outside and painted on the inside. They hold glass panels in partly frosted bluish glass. They have a height of about 25 cm. And the glass disc on top has a diameter of 25 cm too. The sconces are in very good condition. I cleaned the original chrome plating. It shows only minimal signs of wear consisting its age. The white paint on the inside shows cracks and yellowed over the years. They are currently wired with B22 bayonet sockets. For european countries I can place E14 ones. For the US I will rewire the sconces with american candelabra base sockets. Check out over 400 other French art deco lamps in my shop. French lamps and wiring. Art deco lamps made in France were equipped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practically impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets. E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries. An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures. In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads. All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
