Presented here is a pair of vintage sconces spotlights in the style of Spanish sculptor designer David Marshall: the use of aluminium & brass metal finishes combined together, the brutalist organic shape & textured hand finished metal are somewhat similar to the designer`s work.

A very versatile pair as they are adjustable. They could be locked in different positions to work as uplighters & downlighters for general room lighting or at different angles as a spot light for direct lighting.

They can also be turned on & off either by the switch fitted on the neck of the sconce, or from a main light switch on the wall.

The composition of each sconce consists of both a conical arm & shade joined together by a pivotal key. Each sconce is made of aluminium, brass & brass plated metal. The pivotal round brass key located between the shade & the base rotates 180 degrees vertically to the wall. Also fitted to the brass conical arm there is a decorative metal key that can rotate & lock the shade in different positions 360 degrees parallel to the wall.

The conical metal base in a polished brass finish has a circular portion with 3 holes to fit the sconce to the wall.

The conical shade has two parts: the front open portion is in aluminium, in a brutalist finish with plenty of texture, which is most noticeable in one of the shades, and the back portion in brass with holes to release the internal heat. 

 

It is a matching pair of sconces in size & design, with slight variations between the sconces as both were hand finished.

 

Inside the shade sits the new brass lampholder. Each sconce carries 1 standard big screw light bulb (E 27) up to 100 Watts. At present they are fitted & photographed with clear Candle shaped light bulbs of 25 Watts. These bulbs are included in the price. It could take any other E27 lightbulb shapes, such as spot or golf.
