Pair of sculptural brutalist bronze wall sconces attributed to félix agostini, france, mid-century modern
a striking and highly sculptural pair of mid-century modern wall sconces attributed to félix agostini, executed in cast bronze with a richly textured, hand-worked surface.
the design evokes an organic, almost architectural form—reminiscent of branching structures or stylized vegetal growth—hallmarks of the french brutalist movement. Each sconce features a dynamic asymmetrical composition with dual light arms, creating a refined balance between raw materiality and elegant form.
the warm patinated bronze contrasts beautifully with the clean cylindrical shades, producing a soft, atmospheric light ideal for both modern and classic interiors. Their bold vertical presence makes them equally suitable as statement lighting in a hallway, living space, or flanking a fireplace.
this model reflects the sculptural lighting tradition emerging in france during the 1950s–1970s, where artists blurred the line between functional object and art piece. Comparable works by agostini are known for their cast bronze construction and expressive forms, often produced in limited quantities.
a refined and collectible pair that embodies the spirit of french mid-century design.
