Recent estate purchase. They each weigh 38 pounds. They are cast bronze with copper accents. The estate said that these were once on a Mansion in the Palo Alto area of Northern California that Bing Crosby once owned. I have not been able to validate this. If anyone has more information on these, I would greatly appreciate it. Regardless, this is a beautiful set of outdoor sconces from the very early 1900’s. These are the largest I have ever seen. They are in good condition with no cracks or breaks. The copper underneath the torches has a few dings but nothing serious. I was told these probably had round milk glass fixtures in them at one time . Replacement fixtures are readily available online. Below are the measurements for the sconces.
Solid bronze backing plate diameter : 14”
Fixture mounting diameter: 6”
Total height of sconce from bottom of curved cast bronze piece to the fixture, mounting ring: 13”
How far fixture extends from mounting plate (from plate to outside edge of torch): 18”
Please let me know if you have any questions.
