PAIR OF DANISH MODERN ROSEWOOD AND FROSTED-GLASS WALL SCONCES
Designed by Vitrika, Denmark circa 1970s
Item # 311VNK02P-2
A perfect representation of the elegance of Danish design, this sleek pair of sculpted rosewood wall sconces were designed by the Danish lighting firm Vitrika in the 1970s. They are not labeled, but we acquired two pairs of these and one retained its original label (and may still be available in our inventory; contact us or browse our inventory if a second pair interests you). Each sconce features a distinctive bulbous glass shade with a serrated top, the opaque glass allowing light to diffuse warmly throughout a room.
They are constructed from solid rosewood, not simply veneers, each with a vibrant chaotic grain and natural finish. The sconce extends from the tapered, angular backing on a reeded brass post with a conveniently located light switch just below for easy access.
These sconces are best displayed with a hardwire installation. However, they currently come with plugs, allowing for immediate use before having them professionally installed.
Measurements: 10" H x 4 3/8" D x 3" W (bulb)
Condition Report:
Good condition, the wiring is untested - ideal for a hardwire installation.
