This pair of 1970s wall sconces exemplifies lighting design rooted in the mid-century modern era. Each sconce features a spherical lampshade made of thick, textured glass in a light amber hue, with an irregular, organic surface that diffuses light into a soft, decorative glow. The glass globes are mounted on elegantly curved metal arms, finished in polished gold-tone metal—mirrored in the wall plates and bulb holders. The proportions reflect the era: the glass sphere dominates, while the slender, solid metalwork anchors the composition. The sconces display minor signs of age, such as patina and fine scratches on the metal, as well as small holes on the underside likely indicating a missing end cap, which does not affect stability. They are in good vintage condition, showing natural signs of time. These sconces evoke the spirit of the 1970s, when lighting was conceived as both functional and decorative—inviting a golden, gentle glow reminiscent of retro living rooms. The glass, with its organic surface, speaks of a period fascinated by nature and material experimentation. The glossy metal bases reflect light, establishing a subtle interplay between the warmth of glass and the cool precision of metal—together, they narrate an era in which even utilitarian objects were designed to shape mood and harmony. The sconces can be paired with furniture of simple, geometric lines or natural wood, highlighting their mid-century modern character. They would work well above a low side
