About the Item

This delicate and atmospheric Swedish sconce from the 1950s reflects the soft elegance of Mid-Century Modern design. Crafted for use as either a wall or ceiling light, the fixture features a linen shade bordered with fine lace detailing and adorned with subtly embroidered floral motifs. The natural texture of the linen combined with the intricate needlework brings a warm, decorative quality to its otherwise minimal form. When illuminated, the embroidery comes to life, casting a gentle glow that adds depth and charm. A rare and poetic piece that blends functionality with ornamentation—ideal for interiors with a modern, Scandinavian, vintage, bohemian, or even romantic aesthetic. Versatile in style, this piece fits effortlessly into a range of interiors—whether modern, Scandinavian, classic, antique-inspired, bohemian, or Art Deco in character. This lightning was naturally "born" a ceiling lamp, but we see its beauty as a wall lamp. It does require that you are a bit creative if you wish to install it as a wall lamp.
