About the Item
A remarkable pair of Scandinavian Modern wall sconces designed by Swedish decorative‑artist Birger Ekman for Mjölby Intarsia in the 1940s. Each sconce features an elegant inlaid wood panel depicting a stylised figure—a flute‑player and a flower‑bearing woman—together with luxuriously veneered wood marquetry and gently curved brass side wings that house candle holders.
Crafted in an era when Swedish intarsia and marquetry were at their stylistic peak, these sconces embody both fine woodworking and decorative flair, blending the precision of inlay technique with polished metal accents. Ideal for a collector of Scandinavian 20th‑century lighting, Scandinavian Modern interiors, or statement wall décor.
