Bring a piece of history into your home with these vintage glass insulator sconce lights.
The maker sourced these insulators in Maine before acid-washing them to ensure beautiful, shiny glass. Because of their age, there are slight imperfections in the glass, but they add to the history and character.
Each light includes a LED dimmable 6 watt bulb (which is equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent).
The insulator is approximately 4" tall and 3.5" wide.
The cable must be wired in, and all mounting hardware is included.
Glass insulators were used from the 1870s to the 1950s for communication towers for telegraphs and telephones.
