I want to install two used (probably 1972) wall sconce in my dining room.
The sconces have two wires: one black and one with red stripes.
The wall has two wires: one black and one white (plus the ground).
Should the wires be paired: black with black and white with black/red stripe?
Thank you

Yes and attach the ground wire to the sconce mounting screws
