“Life is no brief candle but a splendid torch made to burn ever more brightly.” – Edward Dulop

When you make your plans to visit The Breakers look for this 
late 19th-century wall sconce is one of a set of eight designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848-1933) installed in the Billiard Room on the first floor of The Breakers. Each is in the form of a torch decorated with a variety of raised stylized ornamental motifs. They are suspended from and supported by half-circle brackets decorated with a pattern of coiled rope surrounding four opal glass panels. (Gift of the estate of Countess Anthony Szapary)
