The sconces feature substantial architectural wood frames with a deep ebonized finish. Their distinctive curved arms create a bold, almost graphic profile, while warm brass fittings provide an elegant contrast to the black wood and softly diffused white glass shades.

An especially interesting functional detail is the adjustable brass fitting supporting each glass shade, which allows the light and shade assembly to be repositioned. The exposed construction and strong geometric form give the sconces a sophisticated handcrafted character while maintaining the refined aesthetic associated with Paul Marra's Los Angeles designs.

Although the sconces themselves are unmarked, the design is documented on Paul Marra's page providing a valuable reference for the identification of the model and designer.

With their combination of ebonized wood, brass and studio glass, the sconces bridge Mid-Century Modern, California Modern, contemporary and Art Deco-inspired design. Their sculptural presence makes them particularly effective flanking a mirror, console, fireplace, artwork or bed, and they would work beautifully in a sophisticated entry, library, dining room, bedroom, powder room or hospitality project.
