VINTAGE GILT COUNTERBALANCE CANDLE SCONCE
Sourced from Belgium but likely Spanish or French in origin, a clever gilt metal sconce with counterbalance candle holder. Created for ships, the holder is suspended between two arms and moves freely to counteract the motion of the waves. Etched and well aged, it can also sit flat, and has a discreet hole in the candle holder for electrification if preferred.
Measures approx. 40cm long by 8cm wide with a 15cm projection
