Mid-Century Modern Curvilinear Brass Cobra Snake Sconce

About the Item

This stunning Mid-Century Modern brass sconce was realized in France, circa 1950. It features stylized interpretations of a cobra snake offering sinuously curved cylindrical forms that taper to its tale representing the slithering silhouette of the serpent. The head represents an ovoid form- anatomically representative of the cobra's head with a stylized face all rendered in lustrous brass. At once whimsical and sophisticated, this sconce is as versatile as it is aesthetically compelling. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid-Century Modern to contemporary. It has been newly rewired to American standards and is in excellent condition. It comes fitted with a custom shade. France, circa 1950. Dimensions: 37" H x 5" W x 6" D
