ABOUT PRODUCTID 10717
This pair of Solken Leuchten wall sconces from the 1980s exemplifies a refined combination of warm, satin-finished brass and polished chrome details on the wall mounts and lamp holders. The globular shades are crafted from frosted, opaline glass, diffusing light into a gentle, matte glow. Each sconce features a softly curved brass arm leading to the shade, complemented by a pull-cord switch finished with a small cylindrical brass detail. The geometric, symmetrical silhouette references the mid-century modern movement with a hint of late 70s/early 80s glamour, reflected in the use of metallic finishes. The construction is solid, with seamless metal joins and evident craftsmanship. Each sconce measures 27 cm in height, 12 cm in width, and 19 cm in depth. The overall condition is good, with only slight patina and minor surface marks on the brass, consistent with careful period use. These sconces channel the spirit of a transitional era: metallic surfaces and frosted glass tell of a time when lighting was designed to create mood as much as to illuminate. The brass’s gentle sheen evokes interiors where the dialogue between form and texture was cherished, while the opaline shade softly filters light, reminiscent of a mellow evening glow. The pair seem to whisper stories of an era when lighting embodied both modernity and domestic warmth. They may be paired with furniture featuring clean, angular lines or upholstered mid-century seating to highlight their geometric rhythm. These sconces would work well in a living room or bedroom styled in mid-century modern fashion, or as a subtle accent in an eclectic space with touches of metal and glass. They can be combined with rich-toned textiles and graphite or navy walls to draw out the warm hue of the brass and the softness of the glass.
