Brass and Perspex Wall Lamp, France ca 1950s

About the Item

The best qualities of European mid-century designers’ light fixtures are most often their atmospheric light and disciplined, functionalist execution, perfected by the inclusion of unique design elements. Exemplified by this wall lamp, these qualities are not only timeless, but also ever so eye-catching. Design-wise, this model relies on its brass structure, allowing the shade to appear as though it is floating. The design has an elegant airiness to it, making it a unique piece to elevate any interior. This piece is a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary, quirky and functional, and manages a clean, almost minimalist look. Mid-century modern lighting design from Europe continues to inspire contemporary lighting fixtures, with many designers drawing inspiration from this era's simple and unique designs. Sconces and wall lamps in particular are fixtures that can easily elevate their surroundings, making them a worthy investment for any modern living space. The enduring popularity of these designs is a testament to their timelessness and versatility. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Lamp has recently been rewired.
