This set includes two oval wall sconces crafted from heavy, solid crystal glass. Their design language is subtly inspired by floral forms while also showcasing clear geometric structures. Particularly captivating is the interplay of surfaces: the recessed areas of the glass are meticulously polished, reflecting light brilliantly, while the outer surface has been finely frosted through elaborate grinding techniques. This contrast creates a unique visual depth and a sophisticated, sculptural presence. The sconces reveal their full beauty when illuminated. The light is gently diffused and refracted, casting a mesmerizing pattern onto the wall—an effect that adds warmth and atmosphere to any interior. Despite their striking appearance, the fixtures remain understated thanks to their slim profile, making them ideal for wall installation, even in narrower spaces. Each sconce features a pull-chain switch, which can easily be deactivated by removing the cord if a hardwired wall switch is preferred. The lights each require one e14 bulb. For the u.s. Market, a suitable e14-to-e12 adapter is, of course, included and can be effortlessly screwed into the existing socket. A refined and elegant pair, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of distinctive vintage lighting. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
