Engraved Gold E.F. Caldwell Sconce

From the Remains Archive. Available by private inquiry.

A double-light wall sconce signed by the maker E. F. Caldwell of New York. The beaded oval backplate holds an urn-form armback, from which spring two oval-section arms that terminate in bellied hexagonal waxpans and half-ovoid candle cups. The surface is embellished with beaded edges and an overall dense arrangement of crisp arabesque engraving. The base metals are a combination of brass and copper, finished in gold. The surface decoration is typical of Elizabethan decorative arts.
