This pair of wall sconces by Leola, produced in Germany in the 1980s, embodies a distinctly postmodern approach to lighting design. The construction features an arched frame of chromed brass with a glossy, metallic finish, accentuated by visible chrome screws that articulate the precise assembly. The main shades are crafted from matte white glass in an elongated, conical form, diffusing a soft, gentle light. The most striking detail is a set of deep burgundy-red, translucent glass discs adorned with a concentric ring pattern, offering a vivid contrast in both color and texture. Above these, smaller matte white glass cones echo the primary shade’s silhouette, reinforcing the geometric dialogue. The sconces are preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible damage or restoration traces; all elements appear original and well maintained. These sconces narrate the story of the 1980s—a decade defined by bold experimentation with geometry, color, and the interplay of light. The chrome surface reflects its surroundings like a mirror, while the matte glass softens the illumination, evoking the ambience of futuristic interiors where form embraced expressive freedom. The burgundy disks draw the eye, reminiscent of graphic emblems that invite a lingering gaze. The design seems to whisper of a time when objects challenged convention, inviting a constant exchange between structure and artistic intent. This pair can be positioned to take center stage—against
