Rare Set of Four Art Deco Shell Wall Ornaments Wall Sconces
About the Item
Rare Set of Four Art Deco Wall Ornaments / Wall Sconces – Belgium or France, circa 1920–1950
An exceptional and rare set of four monumental wall ornaments, originally designed as wall sconces. Crafted from plaster with internal straw reinforcement — a technique characteristic of high-quality decorative craftsmanship in the early 20th century. These sculptural pieces embody the refined elegance of the Art Deco era, featuring a stylized shell form and harmonious geometric contours.
Sourced from an elegant European villa, these pieces originally served as decorative wall lights. The electrical fittings have since been removed, allowing for custom re-electrification or use as striking architectural ornaments. Their impressive scale and graceful form make them ideal for use in interior design, heritage restorations, or as part of a curated decorative arts collection.
A complete matching set of four Art Deco sconces in this form and condition is exceptionally rare. This offering presents a unique opportunity for collectors, designers, or enthusiasts of early 20th-century design.
