A late Victorian to Edwardian double-arm piano candle sconce, cast in brass and mounted on a circular wood backplate. Originally designed to illuminate sheet music, the two candle arms pivot horizontally and can be removed from the central mounting bracket for adjustment or storage.
The ornate openwork arms feature scrolling botanical forms, pierced medallions, decorative finials, floral candle sockets, and scalloped drip pans. Their elaborate design reflects the decorative metalwork popular around the turn of the 20th century, combining Victorian ornament with subtle early Art Nouveau influence.
The naturally aged brass surface displays varied patina, oxidation, and touches of verdigris that emphasize the depth of the casting. Both arms remain movable and structurally stable, making the piece suitable for candle use or as a decorative wall object in a collected interior.

Condition: Good antique condition with visible patina, oxidation, minor verdigris, surface wear, and age-related marks; candle arms pivot and remain removable; structurally stable
