Pair of vintage double brass and frosted pressed glass wall sconces produced by Maison Arlus in France during the 1950s.
Each sconce combines an elegant brass structure with two molded pressed glass diffusers featuring a softly frosted finish. The quality of the materials and construction gives the pair a refined and substantial presence.
The textured glass gently filters the light, creating a warm, subdued and diffused glow while beautifully highlighting the relief and depth of the molded glass.
With their balanced proportions and timeless silhouette, these wall sconces are characteristic of refined French lighting design from the 1950s, combining decorative elegance with a distinctly modern approach to form and materials.
Produced by the prestigious Maison Arlus, the pair is a beautiful example of French mid-century lighting, equally decorative when illuminated or switched off.
