These streamlined sconces feature textured glass shades that will surely cast a warm, diffused glow. The black lacquered steel backplate with brass details adds a touch of sophistication.
Very good vintage condition. The sconces provide elegant indirect light, and while the brass shows age-appropriate patina, polishing can easily restore its shine. No cracks or chips are present in the glass shades.
Measures: 16 1/2" H x 4" W x 6" D

This piece is offered in the manner of Arlus. What follows is about the maker whose work it follows, not a statement that it left their hand.
Arlus was a French lighting manufacturer based in Paris, active primarily from the 1950s through the 1970s, working in an Art Deco-influenced mid-century modern idiom. Pieces were made in brass, opaline glass, and black lacquered metal, spanning sconces, chandeliers, and table lamps.
Period pieces are associated, through design collaboration or attribution, with designers including Jacques Biny, Pierre Guariche, and Michel Buffet.
Founding details circulated by retail dealer sites do not trace to a museum or scholarly source and are not repeated here as fact.

Notes on this piece
- On the attribution. Words such as “style of”, “manner of”, “attributed to”, “after” or “circle of”, and period-style labels such as “Louis XV style”, describe our informed opinion based on form, construction and materials. They are not a certification of authorship, and not a guarantee of investment value. Where authorship is documented, we say so plainly and name the evidence.
- Antique lighting. Sold as a decorative object. Where a piece has been rewired we say so in the description. Any antique lighting should be inspected and installed by a licensed electrician before use.
