    Pair of 2-Arm Wall Lights With Cut-Glass Strings & Medallions, c. 1910

    £550

    A pair of 2-arm wall lights of the early 20th century. Solid arms lead to heavily cut glass pans dressed with early-Victorian octagonal buttons and pear drops. Each backplate carries an urn and flaming torch finial at the top, two rams' heads flanking an ornamental swag midway down, and an intricately cut glass medallion within an oval brass frame at the base.

    Restoration by G&P Cohn

    Hand cleaned in the workshop; original patina preserved rather than polished away.

    Electrification —Rewired to current UK standards and PAT tested.

    Condition

    Original patina retained. Cut-glass pans, buttons and medallions intact throughout.

    Our Opinion

    A pair with a considered decorative programme — the urn and torch, rams' heads and cut medallion together making an unusually developed backplate for wall lights of this scale. The retention of the original patina is preferable to a full polish on a piece of this date.
