This pair of asymmetrical two-arm brass wall sconces, crafted in Belgium in the early 1950s, exemplifies the European modernist fascination with organic motifs. Each sconce features two arms set at different heights, creating a dynamic, sculptural silhouette. The arms are topped with decorative brass reflectors shaped as stylized banana leaves, their finely perforated, openwork patterns acting as natural diffusers. The highly polished brass surfaces lend a cohesive, golden hue, while the arrangement of elements underscores their mid-century modern lineage. The sconces are equipped with E14 sockets intended for decorative bulbs. The listed price applies to the set—these are sold exclusively as a pair. Both sconces are preserved in very good condition, with original patina and fully functional electrical components.The form of these sconces tells the story of the postwar 1950s, when European design broke from convention, drawing inspiration from exotic and botanical sources. The rhythm of the openwork banana leaves evokes the ambiance of interiors where light was both practical and atmospheric. Gently curved brass arms speak to the era’s fascination with flowing lines and compositional freedom, while the interplay of light and shadow cast on the wall recalls a summer evening suspended
