{"product_id":"french-textured-glass-iron-torch-sconce-1960s","title":"French Textured Glass + Iron Torch Sconce, 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlass and iron come together in this 1960s French torch sconce, where traditional form is extended to an architectural scale, rising to nearly four feet in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe structure is defined by a slender iron stem, formed and finished in a deep, matte black. Its length gives the piece a vertical emphasis, allowing it to function not just as a light source, but as a presence on the wall. Subtle variations in the metalwork, at the joints, along the surface, speak to its making, where utility and proportion were considered in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the top, the lantern is composed of clear, textured glass panels held within a restrained iron frame. The glass carries a gentle irregularity, its surface lightly rippled, softening the light as it passes through. Crossed supports add structure without weight, holding the panels in quiet tension while maintaining openness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap above is tiered and slightly flared, a familiar torch-like silhouette that directs light downward while allowing a soft glow to escape at the edges. The proportions are deliberate, the lantern compact in contrast to the elongated stem, reinforcing the piece’s height and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this piece apart is its scale. At four feet tall, the sconce extends beyond the typical bounds of wall lighting, reading almost as a fixed torch or architectural element,  anchoring a space vertically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen lit, the effect is warm and atmospheric. The textured glass diffuses the light, while the height of the piece allows illumination to travel, casting a gentle gradient along the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51796656521527,"sku":null,"price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/mkBxTrNSkU8PUPRlvcnpSF9cDdi14kdSUbZ_Laq0wKg.jpg?v=1774993138","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/french-textured-glass-iron-torch-sconce-1960s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
