Pair of Vintage Iridescent Mother-of-Pearl and Brass Wall Sconces, France, 1970s

Pair of vintage iridescent mother-of-pearl and brass wall sconces crafted in France during the 1970s.

Each sconce is composed of an elegant brass structure combined with multiple natural mother-of-pearl diffusers, displaying beautiful pearl, cream and warm iridescent tones.

The natural variations in color and texture of the mother-of-pearl make each element unique. Depending on the light, the surfaces reveal subtle reflections ranging from ivory and cream to soft golden and pearlescent tones.

When illuminated, the light filters softly through the mother-of-pearl elements, emphasizing their translucent qualities and producing a warm and atmospheric glow. The delicate combination of brass and natural nacre makes the pair equally decorative when switched off.

Timeless and sculptural, these wall sconces beautifully reflect the use of natural materials in French decorative lighting from the 1970s.
