<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 117072, member: 44"]The 2nd one, a crimped tin candle sconce, may very well be old, late 1700s/early 1800s, but then again reproductions are a plenty. The rib front forming a panel was a common design for these. The diamond design on the panel is a bit different but not out of the ordinary. Looks like the candlecup may have been resoldered on a couple of times. With no ledge or sides to form a drip pan around the candlecup still there, is sure evidence that it has had yearsssss of wear and tear. I doubt reproductions would be made with this much damage???</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
