A striking pair of vintage wall sconces blending Brutalist strength, Mid-Century Modern simplicity, and Postmodern geometric design. Each fixture features a bold square silhouette composed of textured stamped clear glass mounted on a contrasting metal base. The interplay between transparency and dark metal creates a strong architectural presence, while the textured glass beautifully diffuses and refracts light.

Their clean geometric lines and substantial appearance make them ideal for masculine interiors, modernist spaces, lofts, and architectural settings. The design feels both industrial and refined, making these sconces versatile statement pieces for hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, entryways, and contemporary or vintage-inspired spaces.

Please note: the two fixtures have different metal base finishes (one black/white, one white) and different fitting types, as shown in the photographs. 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.
