Auction Description
This is a phenomenal opportunity to acquire a rare, matching pair of original Art Deco wall sconces. Dating from the height of the Art Deco movement, circa the 1920s-1940s, these fixtures are iconic examples of Streamline Moderne design, often referred to as "clam shell" or "feather" sconces. They embody the geometric precision and luxury of the era, perfect for a period restoration or as a stunning focal point in a modern interior.
Key Features:
- Authentic Design: Features a distinctive, elegant fan or shell-shaped shade crafted from thick opal white (milk) glass.
- High-Quality Materials: Mounted on solid metal frames with an original, gleaming polished chrome finish.
- Architectural Detail: The shades feature bold, raised vertical lines that provide a beautiful, diffused glow when illuminated.
- Condition: These vintage pieces are in excellent original condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with their age. The wiring appears to be modern/updated (verify this detail before listing) for safe and practical use.
- Versatile: Ideal for use in a bathroom, hallway, bedroom, or living area.
