Condition

Good, solid vintage condition. The brass retains a warm aged patina with light scratches and finish wear consistent with normal use. Areas of verdigris are visible around the upper mounting bracket, adding evidence of age. The back shows oxidation and age-related discoloration. Labels remain attached and legible. The piece is structurally solid and ready for display.

Collector's Note

Gatco (General Accessories Trading Company) became well known during the 1970s and 1980s for importing quality solid brass home accents. This sconce reflects the Hollywood Regency revival popular during that era, with turned detailing and substantial brass construction that continues to appeal to collectors and traditional decorators alike.

If you collect Gatco brass, this solid brass wall sconce still has its Gatco and Made in India labels on the back. If it's the one you've been looking for, it's ready to come home.

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
