About the Item
This remarkable wall sconce, dating to circa 1935, exemplifies the Art Deco Machine Age aesthetic, with its bold use of materials and streamlined design. It features a vibrant smoked amber Bakelite housing, paired with brushed aluminum linear detailing that reflects the industrial innovation and glamour of the era.
The smoked amber Bakelite—a popular material in the Machine Age for its durability and versatility—provides a striking impact with its rich, warm tone. The brushed aluminum details add sleek contrast and enhance the geometric contours of the sconce, showcasing the modernist focus on clean lines and symmetry. Together, the combination of materials captures the technological optimism and refined elegance of 1930s American design.
Suitable as a dramatic accent piece for a range of interiors, from period styles to eclectic modern spaces, this sconce is both functional lighting and a sculptural statement. With its strong Art Deco identity and Machine Age influence, it serves as a compelling artifact of early modern design, blending form and function effortlessly. Newly rewired to American Standards, this sconce accommodates one candelabra base bulb achieving up to 60 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
