Art Deco White Milk Glass Sconce Shade – Radiant Prismatic Lens Front

Description :
This Art Deco-era milk glass sconce shade is a standout with its scalloped silhouette, radiant pressed-glass face, and glossy white finish. The sharply molded geometric grooves around its arched sides and the radiating prismatic lens on the front allow light to both diffuse and refract, casting a warm, even glow. Measuring 4 ¾" in height, 5 ¾" in depth, and 5" wide, with a 3 ⅜" diameter base fitter, it is perfectly sized for wall or ceiling-mounted fixtures from the 1930s and 1940s. Minor patina and wear indicate authentic age, making it an excellent option for restoration or historical lighting preservation.
