A late 1800s brass wall sconce light. Gas and isn't converted to electric. Believe the shade is original. The light was removed from a home in Asheville, NC, and is "as found" condition. It has not been drilled out and converted to electric, it is still a gas light. Believe all gas parts are intact, but can't guarantee (see photos). The gas key turns freely as does the hinge connecting the arm to the turnkey piece.
