Pair of wall lights, rattan, 1950

This pair of wall sconces has a handcrafted and natural design, probably inspired by the tropical or bohemian style. Here are some observations: • materials: they are made of wood and woven rattan, with a cage-shaped lampshade that protects a light source. The back is made of a bentwood base, with a decorative hook made of metal or bentwood. • style: these sconces evoke a rustic, exotic and natural spirit. They could fit well in a bohemian, ethnic style interior, or even a seaside vacation home • period: they appear to be vintage pieces, perhaps from the 60s or 70s, when rattan and bamboo furniture was very popular, especially in decorations inspired by the islands or the "mid-century tropical" movement. • lighting: with suitable bulbs, they would diffuse a soft and subdued light through the braiding.
