Pair of Art Deco modernist sconces characterized by tiered, geometric forms and luxurious materials suited to the elegant interiors of the 1920s and 1930s. The sconces display a symmetrical silhouette with stylized, fan-shaped backplates in polished metal, recalling classic Art Deco motifs such as sunbursts or fountains; Vertical ribbed glass shades provide a textural contrast and diffuse the light evenly, creating a dramatic yet refined effect typical of the period’s lighting.
