Pair of French Black Iron + Glass Wall Sconces, 1950s

$2,800.00

Executed in black iron, a pair of French wall sconces from the 1950s.

The silhouette is defined by a series of worked scrolls that extend outward in a symmetrical composition. The decorative flourishes feel rooted in traditional French metalwork.

Each sconce supports two candle-style lights, set above clear glass bobeches that introduce a subtle contrast to the darkened iron. White shades soften the illumination, casting a warm, diffused glow while emphasizing the graphic quality of the framework beneath. At the center, a gilt star motif provides a focal point, lending depth and visual rhythm to the composition.

Designed as a pair, the sconces create balance within a room. Flanking a fireplace, they frame a focal point. In a hallway, they bring warmth and scale to the wall. Positioned beside a mirror or artwork, they introduce both symmetry and texture.

DIMENSIONS: 13"W x 6"D x 13.5"H

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1950s

MATERIALS: Iron, Glass

CONDITION: Good overall vintage condition. The iron frames display a natural patina throughout that aligns with age and use. These sconces have been professionally rewired for by our in-house team of restorationists. Accepts two E12 candelabra light bulbs each.
