Mid-Century Honeycomb Amber Glass Wall Sconce – Brass Finish

Description :
This vintage wall sconce features a richly colored amber glass shade with a raised honeycomb pattern, paired with a warm brass fixture. The textured glass disperses light with a golden glow, making it an ideal accent piece for hallways, entryways, or reading nooks. The sconce includes its original mounting hardware and corded wiring, though the threaded nut that secures the glass shade is missing and would need to be replaced for proper installation. Despite that, the piece retains its structure and functionality with minor wear typical for its age. The attached label lists measurements of 14" T x 8 ¼" D.
