Each bracket includes: • The swinging arm with ornate circular lamp holder dish (scalloped/sunburst edge with radial spokes for ventilation) • Removable decorative wall mounting plate (hooks or slots on for easy installation/ removal) • Functional pivot joint that allows the arm to swing for adjustable lighting direction Exact Measurements (per bracket): • Lamp holder/base diameter: 5.5 inches • Overall height from top of base to bracket: 11 inches • Wall mounting bracket/plate height: 5.25 inches These were originally used in homes before widespread electricity.

Many collectors and restorers love these authentic pieces-they display beautifully as-is or can be repurpoced creatively (e.g., for candles, small plants, V modern LED oil-lamp-style inserts). Condition: Good antique condition with genuine age-related surface rust, patina, and wear consistent with 130+ year-old cast iron. No major breaks or repairs noted. The swing function works smoothly on both. They show normal use and storage marks but remain sturdy and display nicely. Please review all photos closely-they form part of the description. This is a complete matching pair with both original removable wall plates, which adds to their desirability (many singles are missing the plate). Perfect for antique lighting collectors, Victorian home restoration, steampunk/ vintage décor, or architectural salvage enthusiasts.
