Title: 2-arm Wall Sconce Candle Holder - Iron & Wood
Post by: Dallas on December 10, 2012, 11:13:16 AM: I found this thing at Goodwill and want to find another one. Again, not concerned about the value... I have no idea what it is exactly, what style it is and how to search for another one. Thank you for looking!

The only marking I found was a tag on the back (pictured below). I knocked the tag off accidentally and taped it together.

If you live in the Dallas area....I believe there is a large Mexican Market in Garland and one in lower Dallas (south of 30) that you might be able to find similar ones at.

Post by: bigwull on December 11, 2012, 12:43:50 PM: Its a good idea in principal...but unless the wood used in the donor...could be matched to perfection...then I feel that whatever he made would look like ..chalk and cheese ..when they were together...
