About the Item
The rare and elegant large Mid-Century Modern wall sconce ‚Majora’ was designed by Bauhaus member Wilhelm Wagenfeld for Peill & Putzler in the 1950s.
The glass shade is made of frosted glass with fine stripes and is fixed on a large brass plate.
The ’Majora’ was originally designed without the brass plate. This version has been produced for public buildings, and this beautiful pair is from an old German church. The glass is in very good vintage condition, but only the brass plate has quite some patina. On the back of the brass plate, there is still some white wall paint. Timeless design and high-quality workmanship.
These lamps produce a pleasant light and can be used in a variety of ways.
Great vintage condition. 1 x E27 socket each.
Design & manufacture: Wilhelm Wagenfeld for Peill & Putzer, Germany 1950s.
Height: 47.5 cm
Width: 22 cm (top) 11 cm (bottom)
Depth: 11.5 cm
This is an original piece and has lived a life before. Therefore it will show signs of wear and patina, which give the lamps their unique and charming look.
Works with 220V and 110V. Function of the lamp has been tested and classified as fully functional. As with any vintage electrical equipment, it is advisable to have it checked by a qualified electrician.

Peill & Putzler
Transforming light manufacturing into an aesthetic art form, Peill & Putzler is synonymous with futuristic globular glassworks. It was a massive operation at the peak of its production, creating mid-century modern designs and employing up to 1,500 workers. Its table lamps, wall lights and chandeliers and pendants are anything but mundane and are admired today for their innovative artistry.
The melding of two great, independent glassworks companies in 1947 to form Peill & Putzler occurred at the beginning of a postwar design surge. Peill und Sohn, founded in 1903, was led by Leopold Peill, a philanthropist and glassmaker. Originally from Pieńsk in today’s Poland, the Putzler brothers were well-established glass producers known for kerosene street lighting. The synthesis of the two companies established the renowned glassworks and a lighting company. The site of its glassworks factory in Düren, Germany, became the home of this integrated partnership.
In 1953, the German Design Council was formed, with Peill & Putzler as a founding member. The council is essential today, bringing social awareness, support and knowledge transfer to design companies and providing beneficial tools for their success.
Heading the company at this time were Günther Peill and Hans Ahrenkiel. The pair were experimental with the designs the company produced. Advancing technologies supported industrial production, allowing the company to manufacture pieces that were as much art as functional objects.
Designers of note who worked with Peill & Putzler and contributed to its acclaim included Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Helmut Demary, William Brown, Horst Tüselmann and Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg. Collaboratively, they produced stunning flush mount lighting, candle holders and vases and vessels.
