Pair of XL Vintage Gilt Metal and Parchment Wall Sconces, France, 1970s

Pair of XL vintage gilt metal and parchment wall sconces crafted in France during the 1970s.

Each sconce features a large geometric structure in gold-leaf finished metal, combined with laminated parchment diffusers. The contrast between the warm golden surface of the metal and the natural tones of the parchment gives the pair a particularly elegant and architectural presence.

Their generous XL proportions and strong geometric composition create a striking decorative effect on the wall, while retaining a timeless and refined silhouette characteristic of French design from the 1970s.

When illuminated, the parchment gently filters the light, producing a soft, warm and atmospheric glow while highlighting the depth and geometry of the structure.

Both sculptural and functional, this impressive pair combines large-scale proportions, refined materials and warm indirect lighting, making the sconces equally decorative when illuminated or switched off.
