What to Look For

Check the stated dimensions carefully, particularly the projection from the wall and the height of each sconce, as photographs can make them appear larger. Inspect every crystal drop, bead and dish for chips, cracks, clouding or replacements, and ask whether spare pieces are included. Confirm that the pair or set is complete and matching, including candle cups, bobeches, arms and wall plates. Look closely at the metal finish for loss, plate wear, verdigris, dents or later overpainting. Ask whether wiring has been replaced, whether the fittings are suitable for UK electrical use, and if installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Request clear photographs of backs, fixings, sockets and any marks.

Buying Tips

When comparing French Empire crystal wall sconces in the UK, check whether the price is for a pair or a larger set, and confirm the stated dimensions. Study photographs for chipped or missing drops, bent arms, worn plating, loose mounts and replaced parts. Ask about rewiring, lamp-holder fittings and whether the lights are ready for UK installation. Clarify packaging, delivery charges and insurance, especially for crystal, and check the seller’s returns policy before buying.
