Each shade features a faceted profile and striking grain patterns, with closely spaced growth rings creating expressive, almost eye-shaped motifs across the angled surfaces. Their honey-toned coloring and compact proportions give these lights a sculptural presence even when switched off. Natural variations in the wood distinguish each piece while preserving the visual harmony of the set.

the lighting effect is particularly inviting. In daylight, illumination escapes through the open top and bottom, casting attractive washes of light above and below each fixture. After dark, when the sconces provide the room’s ambient lighting, light filtering through the thinner areas of wood brings the grain into beautiful relief, revealing its intricate patterns and creating a wonderfully warm atmosphere.

these sconces look especially striking against a finely plastered wall, where their angular silhouettes and soft light contrast beautifully with the subtle texture of the surface. Equally at home in a scandinavian interior, a mountain chalet, a ski lodge, or a lakeside retreat, they also bring warmth and character to contemporary spaces furnished with stone, linen, leather, and natural wood.

arrange all three along a hallway or staircase for a cohesive lighting scheme, or use them throughout a living room or bedroom to create gentle pools of ambient light. Their modest size makes them particularly versatile wherever atmosphere is more important than strong task lighting.

the sconces are in very good vintage condition, with minimal visible signs of use. Their clean appearance suggests little previous use, although an unused condition cannot be confirmed.

each fixture accommodates one e14 bulb and retains a long two-conductor cord from its original plug-in configuration. The plugs have been removed. For a clean presentation, the lights may be connected directly to suitable wall outlets by a qualified electrician. Alternatively, appropriate european or us plugs can be fitted for plug-in use. E14-to-e12 socket adapters are included for us buyers, allowing the use of e12 bulbs rated for the local supply voltage. The adapters change the socket size; they do not convert voltage.
