A New Kerosene Sconce
I have been going through my pattern list, looking for holes in the products. What jumped out at me was a lack of kerosene wall fixtures. A good project for a Saturday afternoon
The result was a simple sconce. It has a reflective back and uses a glass font. The combination of tin, glass and brass has all ways been a favourite.
My main concern in the design was creating a safe bracket the would hold the glass font. The bracket will be subjected to a lot of action every time the lamp needs oil. I think the weakest point will be where the ring, that holds the font. It is only attached at 3 points should one point of attachment become loose, the whole lamp could become unstable. To make the ring more secure I decided to attach it at the back with a rivet.
