Description

This sumptuous pair of wall sconces embodies the quintessence of European glass art from the mid-century.

Designed by the great Austrian master Julius Theodor Kalmar and produced by the famous Franken KG, each piece stands as a monumental luminous sculpture.

The solid crystal slab, artisanally cast to a significant thickness, embraces an elegant and organic curve. Its bold relief perfectly simulates the nobility of a wild bark or a cascade of ice captured by frost.

Thanks to a myriad of micro-bubbles of air trapped in the material, the flow of light undergoes a fairy-tale prism-like refraction.

The sconces thus diffuse a warm, enveloping, and spectacular clarity, ideal for dressing a wall with an aura of exception.

The original structure reflects a high level of art and craftsmanship: the patinated wooden backplate is solidly coupled with a nickel-plated steel frame, all secured by visible knurled screws in solid brass.
