Candlestick Sconce 1935 - 1942

"Candlestick Sconce" is a design for a decorative metal sconce created by Majel G. Claflin in the late 1930s. The sconce, depicted in a gouache on paper, is shaped like a horseshoe with a central arch and two candle holders at the bottom. The design features stylized diamond-shaped patterns in shades of red, green, and gray, accented by a stylized flower motif at the top. Claflin, a prolific artist known for her craft designs, may have intended this sconce to be a decorative element for a home or a church.
