1 of 3 Shell Textured Glass Sconces Wall Lights by Rupert Nikoll, Vienna, 1950s
About the Item
One of three large shell shaped glass sconces by Rupert Nikoll, Austria, manufactured in Mid-Century, circa 1950 (late 1950s or early 1960s).
An organic shaped glass piece is mounted with brass bolts on a white painted metal backplate.
The textured glass structure creates a fantastic light and is similar to the lights of Kalmar from that time period. Each lamp takes one medium or standard screw base bulb. The lamps are professionally cleaned, newly wired and ready for use.
It is possible to install this fixture in all countries (US, UK, Europe, Asia, Canada,) although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity.
The price is per light. They are sold individually, as pair, or as set of three items.

Rupert Nikoll
The Rupert Nikoll lighting company’s biggest claim to glory came from producing work by the skilled Austrian jeweler and lighting designer Emil Stejnar. He designed several lighting and mirror pieces for the Austrian company. Stejnar had a penchant for symmetrical, rounded forms, often emulating starbursts or floral blossoms in his designs.
Very little information is recorded about the Rupert Nikoll lighting company or its namesake. The company was established in Vienna, Austria, in 1908, and later opened a branch in Munich, Germany. In 1966, its Vienna factory was relocated to Ober-Grafendorf, Austria, about 40 miles away. The company went out of business in 1986, closing the doors of all of its factories.
Decades later, Rupert Nikoll chandeliers and floor lamps still stand the test of time. One of Rupert Nikoll’s most famous designs is the Sputnik pendant lamp, created in the 1960s by Stejnar. With several lighted spokes extending out in every direction, forming a shape similar to a dandelion puff, the Sputnik pendant lamp earned the nickname “Pusteblume,” or “Dandelion” in English. Many imitators have replicated the Sputnik design, but the originals are highly valued by collectors and interior designers. The company is also celebrated for its Sumatra floor lamp, crafted from brass and featuring a curved spine and bipodal base.
