About the Item

Pair of Ceramic Wall Candle Sconces by Tue Poulsen – Denmark, 1960s This rare pair of sculptural ceramic wall candle sconces by Danish artist Tue Poulsen showcases his signature textured surfaces and organic, earthy tones. Handcrafted in Denmark during the 1960s, each sconce features a striking relief design with a warm, tactile glaze held in a metal forged frame. Both pieces are in excellent vintage condition with no cracks or repairs—fully original and well-preserved. Each sconce holds a single candle and is ready to be wall-mounted with a L-screw. These unique works of functional art bring a bold, Brutalist edge to modern interiors while celebrating the natural beauty of handcrafted ceramics. An exceptional set for collectors of Danish modern and mid-century design.
