Candle Sconce with Mirror
1935-1942
Picture a wall sconce that looks like a mix between a garden trellis and a fancy picture frame. This design sketch showcases a central rectangular space, likely for a mirror, framed by sturdy columns and topped with a draped, tent-like structure. Lush, stylized leaves and scalloped edges burst from the sides, softening the rigid geometry. At the bottom, a curved arm extends to hold a candle, ready to cast a warm glow. Signed by E. Boyd, this piece captures the playful intersection of nature and architecture in design.
