Pair of Wall SconcesAttributed to Metalarte, Spanish Brass and Wood Design, 1950s

Original lampshade condition and delivery: The original shades shown in the supporting photographs are not in good condition and are supplied only on request. The white pleated shades in the main image are display styling.

Spanish lighting design through the mid-twentieth century didn't move in a single direction — some workshops chased the chrome-and-halogen modernism the era is remembered for, while the same makers often kept a parallel line running in more traditional materials: turned wood, brass, candle-style fittings that looked backward rather than forward. This pair belongs to that second tradition, working in a form closer to a converted candlestick than anything overtly futuristic.

Each sconce tapers from a ribbed brass collar at the top down through a turned wood shaft to a sharp brass point at the base — a single continuous line broken only by the circular brass backplate where it mounts to the wall. The black candle-style socket at the top keeps the silhouette reading as a candle even now that it's wired for a bulb, a detail that ties the piece back to its likely origins as a candle sconce before electrification.

The wood and brass both show even, consistent wear across the pair, with no looseness at the joints. At 41 cm long, the pair suits flanking a mirror, a doorway, or a stretch of hallway wall where the tapered form can read clearly against a plain surface.
