vintage 1940s brass wall sconces with porcelain roses – a pair

A distinctive pair of vintage brass wall sconces dating to approximately the 1940s, featuring ornate ribbon bows, graceful scrolling arms, and oval porcelain medallions decorated with raised pink roses.

Each sconce features an elongated fluted brass backplate crowned with a beautifully sculpted ribbon bow and finished with a decorative tassel. At the center, a delicate porcelain floral arrangement in soft shades of pink, ivory, and green provides a romantic contrast to the richly aged brass.

Two curved candle-style arms extend from each fixture, creating an elegant and balanced silhouette. The warm, naturally developed patina and intricate ornamental details lend these sconces the timeless character of European decorative lighting.

Beautiful in a French country residence, traditional estate, romantic bedroom, formal entryway, or interiors inspired by Neoclassical and Hollywood Regency design.

From our Vintage Lighting Collection.
