This pair of wall sconces by Glashütte Limburg, dating from the 1970s, embodies modernist design with its combination of lustrous brass and hand-blown glass. The cylindrical brass backplates have a mirror-like golden finish, providing a structured base for the distinctive shades. The clear glass globes feature a bubble effect throughout, giving each sconce a unique texture and a sense of visual lightness. The robust construction is underscored by visible brass screws attaching the glass to the base, and the minimal ornamentation is in line with the German mid-century modern ethos. The E14 light fitting sits inside, capped with a brass detail to harmonize with the overall design. Both sconces are preserved in excellent vintage condition, showing only gentle patina on the brass with no visible damage or restoration. These sconces resonate with the spirit of an era focused on refined simplicity and understated luxury. The golden brass softly reflects ambient light, while the bubbly glass shades evoke the era's fascination with organic forms and material experimentation. Each detail seems to tell a story of a time when function dictated form, and the quiet interplay of metal and glass created a sophisticated, cinematic glow. The light they cast feels like a gentle echo of the 1970s—never overwhelming, always quietly present. These Glashütte
