Made of porcelain with a glossy grey glaze accentuated by two white opaline glass lampshades/bulb covers. Based on our experience so far, the gray version is relatively rare and also one of the most in demand. Executed by linder wandleuchten in germany, this piece offers two e14 light sources and is preserved in excellent condition. We would like to note that one of the two glass shades contains a small air bubble. This is a result of the production process and should not be considered a defect or damage. Furthermore, it is not visually disturbing, as the bubble is located at the back and is not visible. This minimalistic wall light is suitable for various rooms, with a particular recommendation for bathrooms or as a vanity mirror light.
