This pair of Scandinavian wall sconces from the 1980s exemplifies late modernist design, where bold geometry meets decorative light diffusion. Each sconce features a metal body with a mirror-like finish—one in cool chromed silver, the other in warm, polished brass gold. The rectangular backplates highlight the geometric discipline of the era, while the semi-transparent shades are crafted from pressed soda glass with a repeating leaf or feather pattern. The warm amber hue of the glass gently disperses the light, giving the fixtures a distinctly retro flair. The construction is solid, with visible screws and carefully fitted elements that reveal a Scandinavian attention to detail. Original cream-colored cords with inline switches and subtle patina on the metal surfaces provide an authentic vintage character. Both sconces are in good vintage condition, displaying only minor signs of age typical for the 1980s. The price refers to the pair—they are sold exclusively as a set.These sconces carry the voice of a Scandinavian decade that valued the interplay of luster and soft illumination. The metallic surfaces reflect their surroundings like urban interiors from the 1980s, while the pressed glass—resembling sculpted leaves or bird feathers—softens the coolness, lending a sculptural, tactile element. Light diffused through the amber shades seems to evoke evenings when design was both functional and sensual, and interiors became a conversation between material and light.The sconces can be used in a living room or hallway, paired with a simple sofa in smooth upholstery or a low sideboard in natural veneer to underline the modernist spirit of the space. They work well
