ABOUT PRODUCTID 12759
This wall sconce embodies the principles of Art Deco and Functionalist design from 1950s postwar Czechoslovakia. Its main structure is a horizontal cylinder, finished with subtly rounded chrome-plated brass end caps that give an architecturally precise, industrial feel. At its heart lies a soft, slightly glossy diffuser in a warm beige or cream tone, crafted from semi-translucent glass or acrylic, set within a robust metal base with visible mounting screws. To the side, a classic ribbed rotary switch in white plastic adds a tactile, vintage touch. The restrained palette and material contrasts result in a minimalist, modernist aesthetic, characteristic of Czech design sensibilities of the era. Faint surface marks and a delicate patina on the chrome speak of time’s passage, yet the sconce remains in very good, fully functional condition.This fixture suggests an understated dialogue between functional rigor and subtle sophistication. Its cylindrical body seems to echo the motto of postwar modernism: light should be accessible, and material, obedient to structure. The cool sheen of metal and the creamy diffusion of its shade evoke spaces where daily life meets architectural clarity. The shade disperses light just as it was conceived in the mid-century: practical, but always attuned to proportion and atmosphere.The sconce may be paired with raw architectural finishes—brick, terrazzo, or concrete—to highlight its industrial context, or combined with veneer details to soften and warm a contemporary arrangement. It works as a standalone accent beside a mirror, in retro-inspired interiors, or amidst minimalist art and furniture with chrome or steel detailing. In a mid-century collector
