This stunning and dramatic pair of Art Deco Machine Age sconces were realized in the United States circa 1935. They feature circular polished chrome bases secured by hexagonal caps with convex centers. Cylindrical shades cantilever from the bases crowned with a lustrous chrome circular cap at top and bottom, and secured at their bases with a spherical finial. The translucent glass shades are inscribed with a frosted abstract horizontal striations imbuing the surface, suggesting stylized tree bark or the subtly wind stirred surface of a lake. With their beautiful attention to detail, striking economy of form, and beautiful formal juxtapositions, these sconces are sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate Machine Age Art Deco objects. Their monochromatic palate and clean modernist lines ensure that they would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Deco to contemporary. They have been newly rewired to American standards and are in excellent vintage condition. The sconces accommodate one candelabra based bulb each offering up to 60 watts of light.
