About the Item
The brass sconces model Reflex, designed by Pierre Forssell and produced by Skultuna in Sweden during the 1950s, are notable examples of mid-century Scandinavian metalwork and lighting design. The sconces feature a polished brass reflector with a gently curved form that functions to amplify and soften the glow of candlelight, creating an inviting and warm ambiance. The design integrates a wall mount seamlessly into the structure, with the original Skultuna engraving marking the piece’s authenticity and craftsmanship.
The brass surfaces have a lacquered finish, as confirmed by the original label, which advises against polishing to preserve the intended appearance and patina. This lacquer contributes to the sconce’s durable surface and allows the brass to age gracefully, developing a warm and subtle patina over time. The combination of polished brass and the softly curved reflector demonstrates Forssell’s attention to both function and refined aesthetics.
In good vintage condition, the sconces show a consistent warm patina with signs of age and use that enhance their character without compromising their form or finish. The dimensions are 6.5 cm in width, 10 cm in depth, and 38 cm in height (approximately 2.6 by 3.9 by 15 inches), giving the sconces a slender and elongated profile suitable for a variety of interior applications. These pieces reflect Skultuna’s long-standing tradition of high-quality brass production combined with Pierre Forssell’s design sensibility rooted in simplicity and elegance.
