Comments

This candle sconce varies the usual design by having a crest with a central round element flanked by thick spurs, all crimped along the upper edge.  A hole in the top center of the back allows wall-hanging.  The candle socket, formed by sheet metal cut with two tabs folded over on the bottom, is in the center of a half-round pan with a shallow wall.
