Wall lamp (2) - Cast brass

Helestra Leuchten – Pair of Brass Wall Sconces – Model 18/525.11 – Germany – circa late 1990s / early 2000s

Vintage German Design

Helestra Leuchten GmbH is a German lighting manufacturer based in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, founded in 1958 and known for solid metalwork and understated architectural fixtures aimed at the domestic and contract markets. The company's production from the late twentieth century, before the wider shift to integrated LED fixtures, is characterised by heavier gauge metals and hand-finished brass and steel surfaces.

This lot consists of a matched pair of wall sconces from Helestra, model reference 18/525.11, in brushed brass with opal glass globe shades. Each fixture consists of a rectangular brass wall plate, gently curved along the vertical axis, holding a single spherical opal glass diffuser at its centre. The G9 socket dates the design to the period when this fitting became standard in European domestic lighting, from the late 1990s onward. The sconces carry the original German-language safety label on the reverse and use the standard German wall-mount fitting.
