1950s Mid-Century Wall Sconce – Double Opaline Glass Shades & Brass-Tone Structure

Elegant vintage double wall light dating from the mid-20th century, featuring the refined, sculptural lines associated with 1950s European design. Its combination of elongated opaline glass shades and sweeping brass-tone metal arms creates a warm and sophisticated decorative presence.

Key Details

- Design: Two gracefully curved and intersecting metal arms support tall tapered opaline glass shades, complemented by a contrasting dark circular wall plate and decorative central detail.
- Origin & Period: European manufacture, circa 1950s, reflecting the characteristic Mid-Century Modern lighting aesthetic of the period.
- Materials: Brass-tone metal structure with opaline glass shades, designed to diffuse the light softly and create a warm ambient glow.
- Dimensions: Height 45 cm (17.72 in), length 27 cm (10.63 in), depth 10 cm (3.94 in).
- Condition: Good vintage condition with light wear and patina to the metal consistent with age. The glass shades show some scratches and minor signs of use; please refer carefully to the photographs.
- Functionality: Designed for B22 bulbs. Bulbs are not included. No wall mounting/attachment system is supplied.

A stylish and decorative vintage lighting piece, ideal for a Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco-inspired or eclectic interior. Its sculptural silhouette makes it attractive both illuminated and unlit.
