This sconce is even prettier than the picture. We bought several to go in the hall and stairwell of an old Victorian house and they look great. The style can blend with several types of décor and the sconces themselves are very eye catching without being garish. I can't testify to how simple they are to install as we had our carpenter hang them as he was already there working on some other projects but it didn't seem to take him very long to put up the five sconces. I have always liked these Lighting fixtures and these sconces did not disappoint. Good price, very attractive, well made.
