This pair of wall sconces by Holtkötter, crafted in 1970s Germany, reflects a distinctly modernist approach with clear Bauhaus and mid-century modern influences. The lamps are made entirely of brass with a warm, satin-matte finish in a golden tone. The geometric, trapezoidal shades are joined by slender cylindrical arms and square bases, with precise joints and pivot points allowing for full adjustability of both arm and shade. The arm extends up to 60 cm, and the shades can be rotated. The brass surfaces display subtle signs of oxidation and minor scratches consistent with age, while discreet, non-original holes for external wiring are visible underneath the bases. The sconces remain in original, very good condition with authentic patina. The set evokes a sense of calm and focus, as if the light becomes a precise tool for shaping the interior. The understated sheen of brass and strong geometry place these sconces within the narrative of functional modernism, where every element is intentional and the movable shades emphasize a play of light and shadow. The brass surfaces, marked by traces of time, suggest an object that has witnessed decades past, yet remains open to new interpretations. These sconces can be paired with a neutral wall—white, grey, or deep navy—to highlight the warm tone of the brass. They work well as accents above a sofa in a living area or beside a bed, where adjustable lighting suits changing needs. It is worth combining them with furniture featuring simple, geometric lines and accessories made from natural materials such as wood or wool. The lighting may be complemented by minimalist artwork or a low sideboard to reinforce the modernist character of the space. For added warmth, consider textiles in off-white or muted green to balance the metallic accents of the lamps
