Description from the seller
Mid-Century Modern "Eisglas" & Iron Wall Sconce by Glashütte Limburg – 1960s/70s
An exceptional mid-century modern wall sconce manufactured in Germany by the prestigious lighting company Glashütte Limburg during the 1960s/1970s.
This heavy quality brutalist-inspired fixture features thick, handblown bubble glass ("Eisglas") that organically bulges out through a heavy, black grid-like frame.
The textured handblown glass creates a beautiful, warm diffusion of light and striking shadow patterns when illuminated. The bottom is finished with elegant, dual polished brass loops that hold the internal light sockets.
An iconic piece of West German lighting design, perfect for adding mid-century character to modern interiors.
