This pair of wall sconces from Glashütte Limburg, Germany, dating to the 1970s, exemplifies the era’s blend of modernist restraint and luxurious materials. The cylindrical wall mounts and bases are crafted from polished, gilded brass with a mirror-like sheen that reflects both light and the surrounding space, adding visual depth. The shades are made from smoky, greyish-brown glass with a pronounced bubbled texture, lending each sconce a unique, artisanal character. The glass is subtly translucent, diffusing the light source and creating gentle gradients of shadow. The proportions are carefully balanced: the rounded globes contrast with the clean geometry of the brass supports. Each sconce is fitted with an E14 socket; two new reflector bulbs are included. The overall condition is very good, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration. These sconces reflect the voice of 1970s German design—a meeting point of modernism and the inviting warmth of noble materials. The golden brass conjures images of an era when light and matter were in harmonious dialogue, while the bubbled glass texture evokes a fascination with craftsmanship and uniqueness. The light they cast does not overwhelm but gently marks its presence, as if telling a quiet story of times when detail and proportion were as important as function. They can be paired with teak or walnut furniture
