" The Metropolitan Opera&amp;#039;s spring season may have wrapped last weekend, but there&amp;#039;s still time to score an exquisite souvenir from the New York institution. A collection of sconces, which glittered inside the opera house in the 1960s, has been unearthed from storage and are for sale at the Met&amp;#039;s in-house shop. (The sconces did their job only too well: In 1968, after the lighting was deemed too bright, dozens of the fixtures were removed.) Designed by Hans Harald Rath for J. &amp;amp;amp; L. Lobmeyr, the nickel-plated brass sconces feature hand-cut crystals in varying asymmetrical arrangements. Light-catching on their own, they can also be rewired; the original wiring was removed for safety reasons. As those with a taste for Viennese glamour (not to mention musical provenance) will agree, the encore is long overdue.  Faceted-crystal sconces from the Metropolitan Opera House, $6,000 to $8,000 each; metoperashop.com  For more of What We Love, click here. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
