XL Vintage Sculptural Glass Fragment and Metal Wall Sconce, France, 1970s

Rare XL vintage sculptural glass and metal wall sconce, produced in France during the 1970s.

This remarkable piece is composed of hundreds of individual glass fragments, meticulously assembled and held together by a delicate network of metal wires. The irregular arrangement of the glass creates a highly textured, almost organic surface, giving the sconce a strong sculptural presence.

When illuminated, light passes through the numerous pieces of glass, creating a warm, soft and diffused glow while revealing the depth and complexity of the construction. The variations between each fragment produce subtle reflections and a constantly changing play of light.

Its generous XL proportions and exceptional glasswork make this wall light particularly decorative, whether illuminated or switched off. A distinctive example of French decorative lighting from the 1970s.
