AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Circa 1960 European Wall Sconce

The fixture features a strong, linear silhouette with a substantial and reassuring weight, reflecting its robust construction. Originally fitted with four glass panels, one of these has been replaced with a plexiglass panel offering enhanced transparency. The plexiglass replacement is discreet and barely perceptible, as it is positioned on the wall-facing side, while the three remaining panels are original glass, preserving the overall visual integrity of the piece. The light diffuses evenly, creating a refined and atmospheric effect.

Manufactured in Europe around the 1960s, this wall sconce showcases solid craftsmanship and durable materials, most likely a metal structure combined with a translucent panel. It measures approximately 80 cm (31.5 inches) in length and 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) on the upper side, giving it an elegant elongated proportion ideal for hallways, staircases, or feature walls.

The condition is good overall, with some light traces of wear consistent with age and use, which add to its authentic vintage character. Due to its significant weight, secure wall mounting is recommended. A desirable and increasingly collectible lighting piece for lovers of mid-century modern and architectural design.

Note: No original maker’s mark has been identified.
I ensure prompt and careful shipping via Mondial Relay, offering the convenience of pick-up from your nearest location or home delivery via postal service.
