Sconces unmarked and may well not be original. The decoration on both sticks is very tired in general and may well be masking some old repairs. There are more visible repairs to both sticks on the base of one and the sconce area on the other, but as mentioned before, there may be more repairs within the decoration. Hallmarks on the top of each base and exhibit some minor rubbing
