Outfitted with original matching heavy frosted glass globes featuring a hand-cut starburst base pattern. Masterfully handcrafted in Spain circa 1950s. Professionally restored, fully rewired, safely grounded, and showroom-ready.

Elevate your interior architecture with this exceptional, highly elegant pair of mid-century modernist wall light fixtures. Executed in the timeless French Empire and Regency styles with sophisticated Hollywood Regency undertones, each sconce features a magnificent, heavy-gauge solid circular backplate supporting an extraordinary, graceful structural arm modeled in the zoomorphic form of a Regal Swan. Masterfully crafted using traditional artisan repoussé and hand-chasing metalwork techniques, the hollow sheet-brass birds showcase meticulous detailing along the feathers, wings, and curved necks, offering an incredible artisan touch.

The swan figures hold classical flared brass fitter collars with three securing structural screws. The fitters coordinate a phenomenal, matching pair of original, thick-walled frosted glass globes. Each shade displays a beautifully smooth satin matte exterior finish, accented on the absolute bottom with a deep, crisp hand-cut geometric starburst (sunburst) pattern that creates a beautiful light diffusion. When illuminated, the light passes softly through the substantial frosted glass, creating a deeply warm, multi-dimensional atmospheric glow while completely eliminating bulb glare. Due to their classic 10-inch vertical scale and theatrical 9-inch projection, these curated luxury fixtures serve as ideal architectural statement pieces for smaller formal spaces, sophisticated entryways, luxury bathrooms, or framing a vanity mirror.
