That is not necessarily a European custom.  As mentioned, we changed the mounting as well.  It now mounts to a standard American electrical box with a set of side screws attaching to a bracket that is on a standard fitted sub-box that fastens to the electrical box.  A little tricky, but worth the effort, I assure you.  It will come assembled so you can dis-assemble it to see how it all fits together.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e  $1,750.00 for this great pair of dragon sconces with cut crystal shades...plus careful shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49997804568813,"sku":"ANT-864","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5799\/6269\/files\/ANT-864__a_European_Vintage_Griffin_Dragon_Creature_Wall_Sconces_Light_Lighting.jpg?v=1779310783","url":"https:\/\/jn2vnf-0i.myshopify.com\/products\/pair-vintage-mythical-griffin-or-dragon-creature-double-wall-sconces","provider":"Vintage Hardware \u0026 Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
