An extraordinary and unique extra large wall sconce designed as ambient accent lighting. It is as much an artistic wall hanging as it is an ambient sconce. It works perfectly as the dramatic focal point when positioned proportionately on a enormous wall. The square shaped wall hanging is made of a fiberglass shell that has been decorated with a series of art deco inspired swirls in a grey paint that appear much darker (closer to black) when illuminated. A slight but sturdy metal frame sits within the inside of the convex hard shelled shade and has brackets located within the 4 sides of the square that extend outside of the shell by 1.5 inches in order to allow the piece to float away from the wall rather than sit flush. The top of the frame has a loop in which to hang the piece. The piece is surprisingly light in weight weighing in at approximately 10 lbs. It hangs easily with a single wall nail much like a painting would be installed. It is currently wired with a two pronged plug in wire cord but can easily be hard wired if so desired. There is currently no on and off switch so when plugged in, it is in the on position and off when not. A single bulb socket is located in the middle center of the metal frame that sits behind the outer shell. This one-of-a-kind wall sconce is unsigned. It was purchased from a private sale located in Rancho Mirage, CA from a 20 bedroom architecturally significant contemporary resort style private estate. I was informed that the sconce was purchased through a U.K. dealer who informed the previous buyer that it came from a NYC studio by an unnamed artist and sold in 2018 but created in the the mid 1970s. It is unknown whether this is a one of a kind creation or if it is a produced fixture from a a lighting collection. We suspect that there is only one since after at least 20 hours of conducting multiple online searches our staff has been unable to find a lighting sconce that is similar in any way to this one either by size, material, design or style.
Side note: We have a flickering candle effect bulb in the unit as it sits in our showroom and adds an extraordinary ambient lighting effect less
