Hi guys, please note the text in my auction below. I always start off with a <b> for bold lettering. Then after the wored "era" I use <p> for paragraph and the text changes to smaller and darker. This has happened on quite a few of my auctions. Can you explain why. Thanks, Steve
OOOOOOPS! it doesnt show that way below. Please look at the auction to see what I mean. #6195317432
These eye-catching Wall Sconces, with their multi-hued shades of Aquamarine and Mais colouration, come from Paris, ca 1920.
The sculpted backplates lead up to a scrolled "fleur des lis" motif, chic and indicative of the french art deco era.
Details:
The candleholders are wood and very old.
Height:12.25"
Total Width:14"
Looking at the back of the sconces, they appear to be bronze and the weight is very substantal, but we can't tell for sure.
They are wired, take standard candleabra base bulbs and will work on USA and Euro current. As with all old wiring, they must be checked prior to use.
These sconces bring the style and ambiance that comes from authentic period lighting!

Hey Steve,
I took a look at the item and I don't see the fonts change size.
I'm 99% sure why this happened, and why it's not happening now. eBay has been known to tinker with their CSS definitons (CSS is a method of adjusting font sizes everywhere on the page with one little piece of code). Previously, I've seen them declare a perticular font size for the <p> tag. This is why your text looks normal until you use a <p> tag.
Every time that this has happened, we've worked with eBay to get them to clean up their styles so that they don't affect your listings. Since I'm not seeing the problem now, it might be something that eBay once again released and then pulled it back.
