About the Item

An unique pair of 1980s French sculptural wall sconces, crafted from natural chestnut branches selected for their organic lines and expressive character. Partially stripped bark reveals lighter wood, creating subtle contrast, while discreet integrated lights cast a warm glow that enhances their sculptural presence and delicate wall shadows. Concealed wiring runs along carved grooves, reflecting meticulous artisanal craftsmanship and preserving visual purity. Blurring the line between functional lighting and sculpture, these unique or limited-series pieces exemplify the 1980s fascination with natural materials and handcrafted design. In very good vintage condition, each signed at the base with an indistinct signature, they offer a poetic, expressive statement for collectors and admirers of 20th-century French design.
