This pair of early 20th-century Art Nouveau wall sconces from Poland embodies the era's distinctive approach to metalwork, featuring three arms gracefully curved into symmetrical spirals. Crafted from brass with areas of patinated copper, the sconces display a deep, dark brown tone accented by subtle copper highlights. The semi-matte surface, marked by a natural patina, reveals the passage of time and the artisanal origins of the pieces. The shield-shaped backplates with visible rivets further emphasize the handcrafted, industrial feel. Each socket holder is shaped to resemble a classic candlestick, while the sleeves are designed to imitate aged, melted candles in a muted brownish-grey shade. The construction is robust, with prominent screws and carefully executed joints. The overall condition is very good—only minor traces of age are visible, with no damage or evidence of repairs.These sconces express the spirit of Art Nouveau, when metal took on the fluidity of organic lines and craftsmanship merged with the poetry of nature. The spiral arms evoke stylized plant tendrils unfurling across the wall, while the patina on the brass tells of decades past, imparting a noble depth to the surface. Every detail—from the rivets to the wax-like candle sleeves—speaks to a reverence for the material and the era, when light was not merely utilitarian but a bearer of artistic intent.These sconces are best suited to living spaces with a historic or eclectic
