Victorian Sconces, Middletown Plate Co, Quadruple Plate, Ornate Rose Glass

Description

An Absolutely Stunning Matching Pair of Victorian Sconces, Middletown Plate Co, Quadruple Plate, Ornate Rose Glass Inserts.  These were gifted to me by my Great Aunt, who lived in Ohio.  The base is stamped "Middletown Plate Co., QuadruplePlate".  It also is stamped with the number 127 "Hard White Metal".  There is also a script "8" and "5990" etched on the bottom.  These bases are exquisite - so ornate with cupids holding each leg and cupids on the front and back at the top of the base in a shell.  The base itself stands approx. 9 1/2" tall and the base diameter is 5 3/8".  The glass inserts fit snugly in the base of each.  They are 12 1/2" long with a top diameter of 5 5/16".  These are a lovely rose color glass (perhaps opaque cranberry) with very ornate hand painted flowers/leaves (one of which is gold overlay on each).  The front hand paintings are very similar - the back hand painted flowers are smaller, less ornate and are a little different, but similar in size.  With the inserts places in the base, the sconces are approx. 16 1/2" in height.  Each weights 2.6 lbs.  The condition of these is very good - the bases are perfect, one insert is perfect - no issues, the other has a slight hairline crack in the front (see last photo).  A stunning and rare set!
