Pair of Vintage Curved Steel Wall Sconces, France, 1970s

Pair of vintage curved steel wall sconces, produced in France during the 1970s.

Each sconce is formed from a single sheet of steel curved back onto itself, creating a simple yet sculptural silhouette. The restrained construction gives the pair a particularly soft and timeless geometric presence.

The steel has developed a beautiful natural patina over time, adding depth and character to the surface while emphasizing the curves of the design.

When illuminated, the curved metal conceals and reflects the light to produce a warm, soft and diffused glow. For a particularly striking effect, we recommend using a silver-capped bulb, which enhances the indirect lighting and creates beautiful reflections across the steel surface.
