About the Item

A beautifully sculpted pair of mid-century Swedish wall sconces designed by Gösta Ahrneberg in the 1950s. These elegant pieces combine black lacquered solid wood with curved brass candle arms, resulting in a refined, architectural silhouette characteristic of Swedish modernism. Each sconce features a long, tapered wooden backplate with a central brass rod extending into a gently arched brass arm, ending in a conical candle holder with a green-patinated interior. The contrast between the matte black wood and the warm brass adds both depth and sculptural presence. Stamped “MADE IN SWEDEN” on the brass fitting on the back. A rare and finely crafted example of Scandinavian decorative arts from the period—perfect for adding warmth, character, and mid-century elegance to any interior. Details: Designer: Gösta Ahrneberg Origin: Sweden Period: 1950s Materials: Brass, lacquered wood Condition: Light wear and patina consistent with age; brass shows some natural oxidation; overall good vintage condition.
