very fine arts & crafts brass hand wrought twin wall light sadly no shade, having now been polished it is in excellent order order with no discernible damage, although made by the english arm of General Electrics (GEC) the extended heart shaped wall plates are very reminiscent of C F A Voysey a recurring theme of his work and very distinctive, there is a mark which i have been reliably told is from a company called GEC who started manufacturing in the UK around 1890 so they would h...ave been produced during the arts & crafts , art nouveau era of the early 1900's at the same time that liberty & co were producing and selling items from the decorative arts such as their tudric & cymric range of pewter & silver ware designed by Archibald Knox, these are not the normal type of things that i sell so if ive missed anything please feel free to drop me a line,
