This pair of German wall sconces from the 1980s exemplifies lighting that fuses postmodern geometry with precise craftsmanship. The metal mounts and arms, finished in cool, mirror-like chrome, contrast with spherical shades made from thick, hand-blown glass. The shades feature a subtly warm, smoky-grey tint and a distinctive bubble texture, resulting in a semi-matte, tactile surface that gently diffuses light. The construction is robust, with seamless connections and well-balanced proportions (height 27 cm, width 15 cm, depth 16 cm). Each fixture accommodates an E14 bulb, ensuring functional lighting. The sconces are preserved in very good vintage condition, showing only minimal signs of oxidation on the metal, typical for their age, and no cracks or chips on the glass. These sconces echo the spirit of a decade when chrome and glass set the tempo for interiors with a futuristic flair. Their silhouette seems to whisper of the 1980s—a time when lighting was meant to be both practical and decorative, and bubble-textured glass recalled artisanal roots amidst industrial ambition. Reflections on the chrome and the glass's airy bubbles create a subtle interplay of shadows and highlights, imparting a touch of retro-futurism and modernist order to the space. The sconces can be paired with furniture featuring clean, geometric lines—such as low consoles in dark wood or lacquered MDF. They would work well in a living room inspired by late mid-century modern style or in eclectic
