Whitehall Large Sconce

Half a lantern, flattened against the wall, with two candle bulbs sharing a single curved arm.

The Whitehall Large Sconce is by Ralph Lauren, in a Butler's Silver finish. Its form borrows from the hall lanterns of Georgian and Regency townhouses, glass-paneled metal cases that kept candle flames out of the drafts. A canted half-hexagon frame holds clear glass panels at the front and sides, with a stepped molded cornice above and a matching base below. Inside, a U-shaped arm carries two candelabra sockets in front of a back panel of seeded, bubbled glass. It is 16 inches high, 9.75 long and 5.25 deep.

Built like a lantern, though it has no intention of going outside.
