Yeah I'm not sure why someone would have put the chain and cord on it honestly... If I can find another one (or more) that are identical, I'd cut the cord off and rewire it for a j-box connection.

On another note, there were no markings on the back.  I'll try to take more pictures of the back once I have the time.

For right now, it is mounted to the wall over a bed and plugged into a pigtail dimmer switch from the socket.  I love this fixture.

I would recommend that you look on Houzz.com under products.  Otherwise, check Craigs list, Ebay, etc if you want an on line.  OR keep hitting those second hand shops!!!

I do not believe yours is an antique or vintage, but an elaborate repro (from what I can tell from the picture).  I have a huge chandelier in my formal with 18 arms in much the same style and it is a repro.  (An original was too costly and 3 x heavier!)

Yeah I guarantee it's not antique... Do you have any idea what the style is called?  I looked it awhile ago but forgot what it was called.

Little or no value, perfect!  Maybe I can find one easily for cheap.  Is this thing ugly or do I have a weird taste?

Dallas, Wullie is a true Scottman...says what he is a thinkin'!  My family always comes running when they hear me laugh out loud and asks "What did Wullie say this time?"

I really like your wall sconce!  Are you in Dallas?  This is very stylish in this area of the country!!!!

When you had it off of the wall was there any imprint or labeling on it as to the manufacturer? 

I appreciate the honesty!  This means if he's got one... he can send it my way!

I'm in southern california.

I don't recall seeing *any* markings on it whatsoever.  Markings aside, what style is this or revival era?  I will look at the back closer when I get to it later on.

No idea about this except the material is wood and iron - pictured below.  What is it, style and how do I find another one?  Thank y'all!

I found this thing at Goodwill and want to find another one.  Again, not concerned about the value... I have no idea what it is exactly, what style it is and how to search for another one.  Thank you for looking!

The only marking I found was a tag on the back (pictured below).  I knocked the tag off accidentally and taped it together.

I'm not concerned about how much this thing is worth as I am interested how to search for another one.  Bought this for $100 at an antique store.  I fell in love with it when I saw it because it is fairly regal with a subtle creepy look - clean creepy.

Things I do know about it:

• It's all light gauge metal except the ornamental shield which appears to be resin
• mounting bracket on the back side of the shield is light gauge steel
• no markings that I saw

What style it is and how I could find another one?  Thank you in advance!
