Antique Primitive Farmhouse Repurposed Wood Hanging Candle Sconces (2)

This unique pair of candle sconces is crafted from repurposed textile mill components—likely vintage wooden shuttle racks or tension comb boards. Each board features a series of grooved channels, once used in industrial weaving operations, now transformed into primitive wall décor. One piece retains the original “DUREX” manufacturer stamp, a known name in early American textile machinery. Paired with simple metal candle holders, these sconces offer a striking blend of industrial history and rustic charm. Originally part of early-to-mid 20th century mill equipment, they were likely repurposed into sconces during the American primitive décor revival of the 1970s to 1990s.
