a pair of solid brass wall sconces, each with a tall, gently tapered rectangular backplate and two turned candle arms ending in flared drip pans and tulip-shaped candle cups. One sconce is clearly stamped “dantorp design · denmark” on the reverse; the backplates of the two pieces differ slightly in shape (one with a rounded top, one squared), which happens with this kind of maker output but means this is a well-matched working pair from the same workshop rather than an identical factory-matched set — worth noting plainly for a design-focused buyer.

a note on the style: dantorp was a danish maker working in brass lighting and candle holders through the 1960s, part of the wave of scandinavian modern metalware defined by clean, architectural lines and honest, unornamented brass — a deliberate departure from the more ornate candle fittings of earlier periods.

condition: good vintage condition with a warm, lived-in brass patina and some surface scratching consistent with age and use, visible in close-up photos. No dents or structural damage noted; both sconces are sturdy and ready to hang or display. This piece has an attribution mark,
