Vintage French Brass Wall Light with Leaf Motif - 1950s Mid-Century Design

About the Item

Vintage French Brass Wall Light with Leaf Motif - 1950s Mid-Century Design Illuminate your space with this exquisite vintage French brass wall light, a stunning example of mid-20th century design from the 1950s. Likely crafted by a renowned French atelier, this piece embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of the period, with its nature-inspired design and warm, aged brass finish that exudes timeless charm. The wall light features a central vertical stem, resembling a tree trunk, adorned with delicate, handcrafted brass leaves that branch out in an asymmetrical, organic pattern. Each leaf is meticulously detailed with subtle veining and a hammered texture, showcasing the artisanal quality of the piece. Two candle-style sconces, positioned at varying heights, extend gracefully from the stem, each with a scalloped drip pan designed to hold candle-style bulbs (wired for modern use). The design evokes a sense of natural beauty, blending traditional French aesthetics with the softer, organic trends of mid-century decor. Crafted from brass, the light has developed a warm, golden-brown patina over time, with some areas showing a darker, bronze-like tone that adds depth and character. Measuring approximately 105cm in height, 30cm in width, and 17cm in depth, this wall light is the perfect statement piece for a living room, dining area, or bedroom, where it can add a touch of vintage elegance to both modern and traditional interiors. This piece is in excellent vintage condition, with the brass showing a natural patina and minor signs of wear that enhance its authenticity. A rare find for collectors of French mid-century lighting, this brass wall light is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the era, likely produced by a French atelier such as Maison Charles or Lunel.
