A decorative pair of wall uplighters dating from circa 1950. Each lamp features an expressive curved iron frame supporting a rounded bowl-shaped shade. The sculptural construction is finished in warm off-white textured paint and accented with dark wooden spheres, creating a distinctive contrast between the rough metal surface and the smooth wooden details. Their sweeping curved profiles combine late Art Deco influences with the more playful decorative character of post-war European modernism. When illuminated, the open shades cast a warm indirect light upwards across the wall, while the curved frame creates a striking graphic shadow. Each wall light is currently operated by its own pull-cord switch. The wiring can easily be adapted for use with a standard wall switch by a qualified electrician. Dimensions per light: D × H × W: 32 × 32 × 20 cm. Good original vintage condition with age-related wear, small marks and losses to the painted finish, revealing the raw iron beneath in places.
