Crystal & Brass Pineapple Sconces from Palwa, 1960s, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The frame of each light has 3 parts: a removable canopy with the gilt brass crown & crystals, a polished brass round plate with 2 lamp holders, and a round metal wall bracket.

Each crown canopy has a square brass peg at the back to slide & fit into a hook on top of each round brass plate. This plate has two lamp holders with polished brass holder covers facing downwards. At the centre of each round plate there are 3 brass stems fitted curving upwards. The central one is shorter and is finished with a faceted almond crystal plus two octagon faceted dangling crystals. The lateral stems are finished with a faceted almond crystal plus one octagon faceted dangling crystal. Towards the bottom border of the plate, there are fitted in three separate locations, one small oval faceted crystal plus one octagon faceted dangling crystal to complete the composition.

In total on each light there are 50 high quality lead cut crystals: 9 oval faceted crystals,19 almond drop faceted crystals & 22 octagon faceted crystals. All these crystals are removable if needed for transport.

There are 2 holes on the round brass plate. These line up to the round metal wall bracket, which has two treads fitted, each with a decorative round brass nut, to secure the composition. Each wall bracket has holes to screw to the wall.

Each wall light carries 2 standard small screw light bulbs (E14) up to 40 Watts. At present these lights are fitted & photographed with Pygmy Clear shaped light bulbs of 25 Watts. These are included in the price. It is possible to use other E14 light bulbs.

The original Palwa maker's label is still present on the back of each frame.

These lights sell together and the price featured is for the pair.

Additional dimensions:

Diameter circular base that attaches to the wall is 15 cm
