2-arm Wall Sconce Candle Holder - Iron & Wood
« on: December 10, 2012, 11:13:16 am »
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.

Okay, this looks alot like what I have seen in the market in the DFW area since the 1970's.  If you live in the Dallas area....I believe there is a large Mexican Market in Garland and one in lower Dallas (south of 30) that you might be able to find similar ones at.

Yes 1970s "Spanish Provincial" or "Mexican rustic." Very little to no value.

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

I know in this area they call the style southwestern....but I can't find any under that.

I don't know how much you want to invest, but if you forwarded a photo of your fixture to a good blacksmith I'm sure they could turn out anything you desired.
