These sconces are absolutely beautiful!  They are even more stunning then the picture shows.  I was a little concened when I opened the box and saw there was no conventional votive candle holder, but when I put the votive candles in to burn I saw that there was no need for a candle holder beacuse the bunt out votives adhere to the glass sconces and are so easy to clean!  The acrylic crystals look like glass crystals,no one can tell the difference. We have a white iron and  crystal candle chandelier in the library of our 1870 victorian house and these sconces look like they were made to go with the chandelier, so many compliments.  If you are thinking of purchasing these sconces do not hesitate as they are beautiful and well woth the price.
