This pair of Art Deco metal and glass wall lights combines black and gold finishes with the softness of smoked glass, in a refined country style. The four light sources diffuse an enveloping light, ideal for adding rhythm to a hallway, complementing a headboard, or highlighting a living room wall. Its vertical format and narrow width make it a wall light that is easy to incorporate where floor space needs to be preserved. The contrast between the metal and glass gives it a carefully curated second-hand look, capable of complementing both classic décor and more contemporary interiors. In an entryway, they frame a mirror and, when evening comes, create a cozy atmosphere around an antique cabinet or wooden console table. Sold as a pair, 1 set available.

A brief history of the wall light
The wall light descends from medieval "light arms," those torches fixed to walls to illuminate hallways without obstructing the passage. Long before electricity, it was a concentrate of ingenuity: it often incorporated a mirrored or polished metal plate at the back, an essential technical trick to double the candle's glow through reflection. In the 18th century, it left passageways for reception rooms, adorning itself with bronze and crystal to become a true staging instrument. Its wall position then allowed it to highlight paneling and architectural reliefs, creating plays of shadows impossible to achieve with central lighting.
