What makes you think this is an Andiron....look more like a bracketed wall light from where i,m sitting...my link..shows what Andirons ..look like....and they don,t have a lampshade hanging from them..

I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

wull,

You took the words right out of my mouth. I thought maybe Dragon Wall Sconces, but couldn't find anything similar.

Well i'd still like a clearer image of the label ( pity about the extra sticker ) but i think it's early 20th, possibly turn of the last century but i think early 20th. The label might refer to a theatre production company which went by that name, or an art gallery.
A lovely thing, could quite easily make a few hundred to several hundred pounds in the right sale / place.
That's conditional on there not being any damage.

Found similar pair on ebay, sold price rather nice even though some damage noted. There are others out there searching images of  'wooden chinese pagoda lantern'

Yeah, i think this is nicer, also don't think they're as older as the seller claimed
