Pair of Vintage Perforated Metal and Brass Wall Sconces by Jacques Biny, France, 1950s

Pair of vintage perforated metal and brass wall sconces by Jacques Biny, crafted in France during the 1950s.

Each sconce features a distinctive rounded geometric structure in finely perforated metal, complemented by elegant brass details. The combination of the delicate perforated surface, restrained lines and contrasting brass elements gives the pair a refined architectural presence.

Characteristic of French modernist lighting from the 1950s, the design combines functionality with a particularly light and graphic aesthetic. The perforated metal subtly filters the light while creating delicate plays of light and shadow.

The brass details bring warmth to the composition and contrast beautifully with the textured metal surfaces, making the sconces equally decorative when illuminated or switched off.

Elegant, understated and timeless, this pair beautifully reflects the modernist approach associated with Jacques Biny and French lighting design of the post-war period.
