ABOUT PRODUCTID 10656
This pair of wall sconces by Solken Leuchten from the 1970s exemplifies the Hollywood Regency style, where ornamental flair meets meticulous craftsmanship. The construction features a gold-toned, mirror-polished metal base with ornate, embossed circular motifs on the front and upper sections. Each sconce is adorned with 11 large, oval, transparent glass rings arranged in a cascading manner, and 5 smaller glass accents at the top—one of which is slightly smaller than the rest. The glass elements are smooth and highly polished, providing a clear contrast to the textured metal and amplifying the play of light. The build is solid, with visible screws and compact proportions: width 16 cm, height 17 cm, depth 10 cm. The sconces are in very good condition, showing no significant wear; all decorative elements appear original. These sconces echo an era fond of spectacle and cinematic glamour. The gold surfaces reflect light with bravado, while the glass rings create a cascading effect reminiscent of jewelry and the luster of 1970s interiors. The metal, substantial yet finely detailed, seems to narrate a time when even illumination was meant to be theatrical. Every detail—from pronounced textures to the subtle difference in glass sizes—carries the atmosphere of a period when interiors served as a stage for daily rituals. In an interior, these sconces can serve as a striking accent in a living room, hallway, or bedroom. They would stand out against smooth, dark walls, allowing the gold and glass to enrich the space. They may be paired with 1970s furniture—veneer sideboards, chrome-legged tables—or with contemporary, minimalist forms to create a stylistic contrast. Combining them with glossy textiles or luxurious fabrics such as velvet or silk would further highlight the cinematic quality of their light.
