A beautiful matched pair of wall-mounted ceramic candle sconces, designed by Margareta Hennix for the legendary Swedish pottery Gustavsberg, dating to the 1970s. Each piece features a rich, deep brown glaze with warm amber highlights that shift beautifully in candlelight. The shaped backplate is decorated with elegant scrollwork relief details at the top and sides — a restrained nod to decorative tradition that feels entirely at home in both period Scandinavian interiors and contemporary homes looking for warmth and character. These are substantial, well-made pieces — the kind of quality that only comes from a major studio pottery. Gustavsberg, founded in 1825, was one of Sweden's most celebrated ceramics manufacturers, responsible for some of the most collectible Scandinavian design of the 20th century. Designer: Margareta Hennix. Manufacturer: Gustavsberg, Sweden. Period: circa 1970s. Material: glazed ceramic, deep brown with amber tones. Dimensions: 35 × 18.5 cm each. Sold as a pair. Condition: vintage, please see all photos. A rare opportunity to acquire a matched pair — sconces like these are far more commonly found as single pieces.
