My son hit and broke the entry hall light playing catch.
We'd like to replace it with the exact same sconce. Anyone have an idea where we might find one?
Thanks

There's a good chance there's a label with manufacturer/serial number somewhere inside or on the back of the fixture.

If there's not, the best luck I have had when finding replacement fixtures is taking a picture of it (assuming you have a pair and one is still good) and doing a reverse-Google Image search. It's hit or miss, but sometimes it can help you find the model and see if someone still carries it. Try from a few angles.

This is the way. But don't just do an old-school reverse image search. Let Gemini AI find it.

When we were building, I used this at various showrooms to price check and confirm brands. I've also used it to identify fixtures in hotels, etc. that I liked and was considering for the house. Won't be perfect but will be your best bet besides a long-tenured interior designer focused on that style.

Thanks for the advice. I've tried AI and found one kind of similar, may just have to go more modern for the light. Thanks again.

A picture would be useful. Might be someone here with antique barns full of stuff.

Might be easier to get him to "accidentally" break the other one.

Although I agree, this might be extreme since I do have rare clients fans of this decor era, hobbled by offerings ...
I grew up with antiques & exotic mid-century art, often decpited on popular TV series shows of that era
Very useful and woodgrain specimens apropos

That said THIS specimen might EZily be replaced as a pair by even a Home Depot decor advisor to better match house decor given some photos from which to work.

Choose better than spec.house, a forever.house this time, not for builder profit/on.sale, as pretty as they may be judged
