This is a great looking antique early 20th century brass &amp; cast iron knight slag glass single wall sconce.It probably dates from the 1920s.The backplate measures 14 inches tall and 4 7/8 inches wide (35.6 cm x 12.4 cm). The slag glass measures 7 1/8 inches tall by 4 3/8 inches wide (18.1 cm x 13.3 cm). The section that holds it in measures 7 1/8 inches tall by 5 1/4 inches wide (18.1 cm x 11.1 cm). It protrudes out from the wall 4 inches (10.2 cm).Every detail is attended to in this wall sconce. Even the thick slag glass is molded with a knight on top and ornamentation in the main part.The backplate and extension are made of cast brass with a brass wash. The piece that holds in the slag glass is made of brass. I tested this out with a magnet. There are areas with red and blue paint on them, which matches nicely with the oval red piece that lies behind the middle of the sconce where the two lions are.As you can see in the photos, there are many rust spots coming through. It\'s still very sturdy and these just tend to blend in with the sconce, giving it its old world look.The slag glass is in very good condition with no chips, breaks or cracks. There appears to be a thin dark yellowish color which may have been original. About half of it is worn off. If you look at the glass from the back you will see lines in the original making of it, but these are not damage. It definitely needs to be rewired, as the cloth covered wire is unsafe.It weighs 3 lbs. 1 oz. (1.39 kg).I think you\'ll be very pleased with it.
