OT - any electricians here?

[Gene in Mi]

(quoted from post at 00:27:51 01/29/23) Picked up a box lot of antique wall sconces at an auction. My wife really likes these but when I turn them over there is just that keyhole hanger to go over the head of a screw and no obvious way to attach to an electrical box. Further, there is felt on the back like they were hung against a painted surface. I have never seen anything like this. The bases are ceramic so no drilling holes. Anyone have any idea how to attach these to a flush electrical box?

Can you post a pic of the other side? The side facing the room.

I think it would.

Not easily, I left it at the farmhouse and won't be there today. It is basically a ceramic half circle or half dome. Only hole in it is the one the pipe goes thru.

Here you go. All the parts are readily available at any hardware or box store.
