This pair of wall sconces from circa 1920, crafted entirely from brass, embodies an eclectic spirit with distinct Art Deco and ethnic influences. The shades take the form of hexagonal lanterns, each adorned with intricate openwork panels featuring all twelve zodiac signs, surrounded by ornate, swirling patterns. Each lantern is topped with a small spherical finial, while the arms – delicately turned – flow into shield-shaped, gently flared backplates. The brass presents a warm, medium-gold tone with a matte finish, displaying subtle surface variations and a gentle patina characteristic of antique metalwork. The construction allows for the addition of colored glass inserts within the lanterns, and the sconces are designed to accommodate standard large-socket light bulbs. The overall condition is very good, with only minor signs of age and no visible damage or repairs. The listed price refers to the complete set of two sconces.These sconces seem to echo the voice of the 1920s – an era when craftsmanship intertwined with symbolic fascination and the richness of ornamentation. The brass panels speak of astrological archetypes rendered in metal, and the geometric lantern forms evoke the ambiance of modernist salons where light was meant to decorate as much as illuminate. Every detail bespeaks a reverence for tradition alongside an openness to the eclectic inspirations of the time.This pair can be placed flanking an antique mirror or sideboard, creating a rhythmic play of light in a study, living room, or stately entrance hall. The sconces may be combined with dark
