European makers of the 1950s and 60s refined the type — a compact brass arm, a pressed-glass shade to soften the bulb, and the detail that made them beloved: a pull cord, so the light could be switched off with a sleepy hand without finding a switch on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair is attributed to Groewe and dated to the 1960s, each sconce a shaped brass wall plate carrying a slender arm and a cylindrical shade of pressed glass, frosted with a diamond-quilted texture and ringed by a band of raised scrolls picked out in amber. Hold a hand behind the shade in the photograph's place and you see the design's logic — the frosting diffuses the bulb into an even glow while the polished amber scrolls stay bright, so the shade reads as jewellery when lit. Both pull-cord switches are present and everything is functional; the shades are numbered 3684. The pair is sold without bulbs and is prepared for wall installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth shades are intact, with some oxidation to the brass and the gilt finish a little faded on the wall plates — honest marks of their sixty-odd years, shown as they are in the photographs. Whoever read by this pair before you kept them working. They are ready to flank a bed, a mirror, or a hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sconce takes a standard E14 small screw bulb, maximum 40 watts, and both are in working order.
