The heart was a favorite traditional design of many early Pennsylvania craftsmen.  The original of this sconce was found in a private collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania Heart Sconce would fit quite comfortably in a traditional, folk art or early country decor.  The quaint cheerful outline of this piece is welcoming in entryways, kitchens, keeping rooms, even bedroom and bath.

The detail photo clearly illustrates how the heart and design are punched into the backside of the sconce face.  We are using a dull point punch so as to not pierce through the surface of the tin.  This decorative punching was commonly seen on many teapots and coffeepots of the early period.  Extremely popular today, decorative punching is found in many types of home decorating accessories
