Pair of Attr. Th. Valentiner Danish Mid-Century Brass Wall Sconces

About the Item

While little is known about the personal life or career of Danish designer Th. Valentiner, his products remain a staple of mid-century lighting. Part of the Danish Functionalist school of aesthetic, Valentiner's works prioritize utilitarian usage over ornate decoration; in other words, the item's purpose should guide the design rather than excessive ornamentation. These sleek and stylish sconces, attributed to Valentiner's body of work, are no exception. Minimalist-inspired brass cylindrical bodies with simple, likely original, slightly tapered shades bring a warm glow without superfluous gaudiness. c. 1950's.
