Vintage Glashütte Limburg Iron Rings Sconce

A beautiful and iconic wall sconce — the Iron Rings model by Glashütte Limburg, West Germany, dating to the 1960s. The shade consists of a curved rectangular iron framework holding a grid of individual round cast glass lenses, each one slightly concave with a raised centre point, set into the iron like jewels in a bezel. The contrast between the dark, industrial iron lattice and the clear, refractive glass discs is what makes this design so enduringly compelling — brutalist structure and delicate light in equal measure. When lit, the transformation is complete. Each glass lens glows individually, the whole surface becoming a mosaic of warm white circles that cast a soft, diffused light onto the surrounding wall. It is at once graphic and atmospheric, bold and intimate. The Iron Rings sconce is one of Limburg's most collected designs, sought after by interior designers and vintage lighting enthusiasts worldwide. Dimensions: 20 cm height × 14.5 cm width × 10.5 cm depth.
