This dramatic lucite and brass wall sconce has been attributed to Karl Springer, and matches other brass rams head items I have seen from Springer. It can be mounted on the wall as a sconce, or can stand alone on a table.

The center piece is an impressive triangular slab of lucite, 12″ high with 4 1/4″ sides, wrapped with wide bands of shiny brass. A solid brass rams head extends from each side. The pale green triangular shade is original, but the finial, whatever design it was, is gone.

The lamp is 12″ high, 20″ to the top of the shade. The shade is 17 1/2″ wide, and the total depth including the rear wall-mount bracket is 11″. The top is the shade is stamped “Artemis Studios”. It is in very good condition. $800
