Large + tall pair of rectangular Mid Century Modern sparkly glass sconces
About the Item
A pair of Mid-Century Modern rectangular shaped sconces.
Patterns of geometric and stylized floral motif decorate this lovely architectural sconce in a gridwork of square glass panels structurally and decoratively supported by original nickeled steel clips. Sparkling like crystal, this fixture exudes a sense of elegance and style.
Each sconce comprises 11 panels of glass, thus the top and bottom are enclosed glass as shown in pics.
Not only are they stunning when viewed from the front, but they also exhibit their beauty when seen from the side, top, and bottom.
The overall clean and simple angular geometric and cubist shape lends an architectural and modern aesthetic.
The 1960s with its Post Modern and pop art movements of geometric forms and bold colors took inspiration from Art Deco.
These sconces can be used in a dining room, bedroom, bathroom, entry, foyer, hallway, closet, child's room, study, walkway, or anywhere a little glamorous sparkle is desired.
We have other similar sconces available, if multiple pairs are needed.
Any differences in color in the pics is due to the camera flash.

Due to periods of historic turmoil, many of the glass designers worked for multiple lighting manufacturers. Entire sections of countries were annexed by adjoining countries. Borders changed. Czechoslovakia was under German occupation and rule. After the war, from 1948-1990, it became part of the Eastern Bloc. As a socialist and satellite state of the Soviet Union, it had an economy of command where rules, production … were determined and set by the government.
In 1958, Czechoslovakia exhibited in the Brussels World Fair and gained world -wide attention for using modern materials of steel, glass and plastic. The country won the main and several other prizes for its lights. This new style of lighting became known as the Brussels style, a symbol of the golden decade of progress, reform and political liberation. But in 1968, the Warsaw Pact consisting of the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary invaded with the intention to forcibly halt the reforms. East Germany cancelled and pulled out of the pact hours before the operation.
