Antique Adjustable Solid Brass Wall Sconce Light Fixture

Description : This antique solid brass wall sconce features a classic adjustable socket mounted on a simple round wall canopy, making it suitable for restoration or repurposing in historic homes and vintage-inspired interiors. The fixture retains a naturally aged brass patina and an articulated elbow that allows the lamp to be aimed as needed. It currently includes a modern compact fluorescent bulb for demonstration purposes, but the fixture should be rewired before installation due to deteriorated wiring visible at the back. Its understated design complements Colonial Revival, Victorian, Craftsman, and early 20th-century interiors.
