Pair of Vintage Pull Switch Wall Sconces with Tapered Glass Shades

This is a gorgeous pair of stunning mid-century wall sconces, crafted from gold-tone metal and featuring corded switches, making them ideal for installing on the wall behind a bed. They also have red plastic collars under the faceted glass shades. They have a strong connotation of mid-century modern, a time when lighting and futuristic design were the height of post-war home style. They will look stunning in any well-designed room and will be a focal point even in daylight when not lit. They are ideal for the wall behind your bed, in certain alcoves in a living room or even in a bathroom near the mirror. It's the ideal gift for anyone who loves french mcm style and a fantastic decorative piece that could be the perfect prop for a period theater production. In very good condition, with only minor signs of age including some light pitting to the metal surfaces on the back of the wall plates and inside the lampshade bracket, but this is not noticeable when they are in place. The edge of one of the lampshades also has small, barely visible scratches. As you can see, they are currently working. You'll need a professional electrician or confident diyer to attach them to the desired location, as it will be their responsibility to make them work. If you have any concerns about safety, you should also have them tested by a professional after installation. Please see all photos and remember they are approximately 50 years old, used and pre-leased. Each bulb can be powered by a small e14 screw bulb (not included). Approximate dimensions: height - 24 cm width - 9 cm projection - 17 cm shade: length - 18 cm.
