This wall sconce from the 1960s, produced in former Czechoslovakia, exemplifies Central European modernist design. The focal point is a transparent, pressed glass shade, distinguished by its pronounced relief texture: a grid of raised squares, each containing ovals and circles, creates a dynamic, three-dimensional pattern. The glass, with its high gloss and clarity, reflects and diffuses light, enhancing the sculptural character of the lamp. The cylindrical base in neutral white—made of metal or high-quality plastic—remains discreet, allowing the glass to dominate visually. The junction between components is clean and precise, with no visible screws or fasteners. The proportions are balanced, and the overall piece is preserved in very good condition—the glass free from chips or cracks, and the base with no visible signs of wear.The lamp evokes the postwar modernist era, when glass became not only a medium for light but also a form of decorative expression. The shade’s relief pattern reflects a fascination with geometry and rhythm, characteristic of the 1960s, a time when everyday objects merged practicality with a subtle play of light. The prismatic surface transforms the wall into a changing composition of luminous reflections—the sconce becomes almost a light sculpture, telling the story of an era
