CLOSE UP: Wall Sconces at the Worcester Art Museum, 1914 and 2014

Wall Sconce at the Worcester Art Museum, 1914


     An enlarged view of a 1914 photo reveals the silhouette of a familiar wall sconce. The original brass fixtures are long gone. An old photo, perhaps even this very one, was used to recreate 8 new wall sconces for the Worcester Art Museum's Centennial. They, of course, now illuminate Stephen Earle Hall on the first floor.
