This pair of matching wall light sconces originates from the Art Deco period around 1930. The design incorporates frosted glass flame-shaped shades, polished chrome rectangular backplates, and butterscotch-coloured catalin or phenolic Bakelite handles formed in a torch shape with fluted detailing and small ring turnings at the base. The metal components display a bright silver-toned chrome finish, while the glass provides a soft, frosted texture. Measuring 42 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 23 cm deep, these lights suit placement on narrow wall spaces in living areas, hallways, or bedrooms to provide atmospheric wall illumination. The fixtures come in good vintage condition with their original glass shades intact.

FAQs

Art Deco flame wall sconces combine classical torch symbolism with Streamline Moderne aesthetics, featuring frosted or pressed glass shades shaped like stylized flames set into geometric metal mounts.

Lighting fixtures from this period frequently utilised chrome-plated brass or steel, moulded frosted glass, and early synthetic polymers such as Bakelite or Catalin for accents.

Authentic period pieces exhibit cast metal fittings with authentic surface wear, original glass shades with moulded seam lines, and legacy wiring channels suited to early twentieth-century mounting standards.

These sconces function effectively when installed in pairs to flank bathroom mirrors, light narrow corridors, frame artwork, or accentuate architectural features in contemporary spaces.

Metal components should be dusted with a soft microfibre cloth and treated with specialized non-abrasive metal polish, while glass shades can be removed and cleaned using warm water and mild liquid detergent.
