This pair of wall sconces from the 1940s exemplifies Czechoslovak crystal glass craftsmanship, entirely hand-shaped and finished. The transparent glass, with a subtle golden hue, features a high-gloss polish that reflects light and accentuates the gracefully curved, symmetrical arms ending in pointed finials. Each sconce offers two arms with decorative, scalloped glass bobeches, while the E14 bulb holders are styled as faux candles with matte ivory sleeves imitating traditional wax. The construction reveals hand-blown irregularities and subtle differences in detail, hallmarks of genuine period artisan work. The sconces are in very good vintage condition, showing no chips or cracks, with only mild patina on the metal mounting elements. The design of these sconces echoes the spirit of late Art Deco and early modernism: flowing lines, glass bobeches, and candle-style details evoke the ambiance of refined postwar Central European interiors. The crystal glass, which has captured decades of shifting light, conjures memories of twilight gatherings once lit by real candles—now replaced by electric glow with understated elegance. The subtle patina and minute variations in the arms' profiles testify to human touch and the noble imperfection of historic craftsmanship. These sconces could be paired with classic wood paneling, a veneered sideboard, or geometric-framed mirrors to highlight their Art Deco heritage. They would also suit eclectic interiors—
