Palwa crystal pair wall lights sconces by Ernst Palme, brass pineapple, 1960`s, German

Hese vintage wall lights have been gently cleaned while respecting the aged patina. They are newly rewired & earthed, pat tested by an electrician, fully working and ready to install. Light bulbs are included. These lights can be use with a dimmer. It is possible to use these lights in other countries although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity. The original palwa maker`s label is still present on the back of each frame. The frames are quality cast and have a good weight. The frame of each light has 3 parts: a removable canopy with the gilt brass crown & crystals, a polished brass round plate with 2 lamp holders, and a round metal wall bracket. On each light, the gilt brass canopy is in the shape of half a pineapple crown. The surface of this crown leaves is decorated with a textured pattern in the brutalist style. It has at the top 6 rounded points curving outwards, each with a small octagonal shape dangling faceted crystal. There are 2 holes on the round brass plate. These line up to the round metal wall bracket, which has two treads fitted, each with a decorative round brass nut, to secure the composition. Each wall bracket has holes to screw to the wall. Each wall light carries 2 standard small screw light bulbs (e14) up to 40 watts. At present these lights are fitted & photographed with pygmy clear shaped light bulbs of 25 watts. These are included in the price. This pair of vintage sconces is in good condition. The vintage patina has been preserved. The metal frames are sound with no missing or broken parts. The gilt & brass surfaces are in good condition, with the clear lacquer present on the brass with a light warm patina developed underneath over the years and minor marks & rubbing. All the vintage crystals (100 in total) are present and in good condition, with no large chips and only some nibbles & wear at the pointy end of most of the icicle crystals, all in line with age & wear.
