Another interesting objet d'art is this century old cast bronze wall sconce lamp depicting the bust of an Indian chief in relief. It has an arm coming out of the plaque base with a cull-chain socket on it. When purchased, the socket was missing. I happened to have another wall sconce from the same period that had a base beyond reasonable repair (and painted blue). I put the socket from that sconce onto this one, though I have not wired it to either a plug or wall box. It hangs above the door among a bunch of plaques, too close to the ceiling to install a bulb anyway.
If anyone out there has seen anything like this lamp, please let me know. None of my research has led to any answers and I have never seen another.
