Developed in the Art Nouveau period, when the curve was the period's defining gesture, it solved the wall lamp's fundamental problem with characteristic elegance: how to extend a light source away from the wall and into the room without the weight and complexity of a multi-arm fitting. A single brass arm, well proportioned and cleanly curved, proved answer enough — and the tulip glass shade that sat at its tip became one of the most recognised silhouettes in French interior lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair is French, early twentieth century, each sconce built around a scrolled brass gooseneck arm rising from a circular fluted brass base, the arm curving upward and outward before turning to hold the frosted glass tulip shade. The bases are chased with a radiating gadroon pattern — individual lobes running from the centre to the edge, the decoration that gives the foot its visual weight and prevents the slender arm from reading as top-heavy. The frosted glass shades are the ruffled tulip form — the rim folded and waved in the manner of a flower's petals opening, the glass moulded with a fine overall texture that diffuses the light evenly and glows warmly when lit. Each sconce carries a pull-switch on the arm — the period detail that makes these as practical today as the day they were installed. The wiring is new throughout, compatible with both European 230V and North American 120V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass is warm and sound across both sconces; the frosted glass shades are matched and intact. These arrived at today in good working order, fully restored and ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey arrive professionally packed and fully insured.
