A striking pair of vintage 1970s Brutalist wall sconces combining sculptural wrought iron metalwork with richly textured honey amber glass. The black iron frames are decorated with stylized leaves and branches that evoke natural forms while maintaining the dramatic architectural character typical of Brutalist design. The handcrafted glass diffusers feature a beautiful honey-coloured texture, creating warm golden illumination and emphasising the artisanal nature of the pieces.

The contrasting combination of dark forged metal and glowing amber glass gives these sconces a strong visual presence, ideal as statement pieces for Mid-Century, rustic, Mediterranean, chalet, lodge, eclectic, and vintage-inspired interiors. The pair consists of two different sizes that work beautifully together as a coordinated set. Both sconces have been professionally rewired.

Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

All pieces use standard Edison screw fittings: E27 (large, most pendants and sconces) or E14 (small, table lamps and multi-arm chandeliers). A handful of pieces use halogen — noted in the listing. E27 and E26 are interchangeable with a simple ring adapter.

These are straightforward socket circuits with no built-in electronics, so they're fully voltage-agnostic — just fit a bulb rated for your local voltage (110V or 220V) and it works.

Plug-in lamps: you'll need a standard EU-to-local plug adapter (EU Type C/F to US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I, etc.). No voltage converter required.
