An elegant pair of French whiplash sconces attributed to Arlus or Lunel, embodying the refined dynamism of mid-century design. The sinuous, “coup de fouet” lines create a sense of movement and lightness, while the interplay of black lacquered metal and brass introduces a striking contrast between matte depth and warm metallic sheen.
Each sconce unfolds in a graceful curve, the arms extending outward in a fluid gesture that feels both sculptural and architectural. The brass elements catch and reflect the light, enhancing the fixture’s rhythmic silhouette, while the black structure provides visual grounding and graphic clarity. Compact in scale yet expressive in form, the pair offers an ideal balance between decorative statement and functional illumination.
These sconces retain their authentic character and are perfectly suited to both modernist and eclectic interiors.
