Handmade Cherry Wood Candle Sconce, Colonial Style Lantern, Mirror Reflection

This authentic candle sconce is handmade from cherry wood & designed to hang on the wall in any place that wants a little candle light. The top is open, & the glass panel on the right side opens outward for easy lighting of the candle. The interior mirror multiplies the light by catching the candle's flame & reflecting it back from many soft angles. The design of this piece was inspired by a wooden sconce hanging in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. While it's done in a true early American style that would have looked familiar to Thomas Jefferson, it also looks perfect in the modern home. With its simple lines & easy curves, this timeless accent wall piece will complement any style of decor while adding a little class of its own. Our sconce's unique features: -The fan details on the top are hand-carved by our woodworker. -The Early American Life magazine featured this sconce in their Aug 2007 issue. -Choose between modern & artisanal glass 135) for the glass panels. The artisanal glass is true mouth-blown restoration glass (like it would have been in colonial times). This is what gives the glass walls their textured & sometimes bubbly look, as shown in the photos. Note: some pieces of restoration glass have far fewer markings than other pieces. If you want to see how the glass looks on the piece you order, please message us & we'll be happy to send a photo of your particular sconce. We finish the wood sconce with shellac & a simple stain mix to darken the cherry grain to its natural final color. Please note, the color varies according to lighting. The candle & holder shown in the photos are not included & are for inspiration only. However, small brass hangers are included. The candle sconce ships via UPS Ground with the glass panes separate from the rest of the piece. Simply slip the panes into place when hanging.
