Set of Four Mid-Century Modernist Polished Brass Sconces by Paavo Tynell

$ 17,975
  • Description
    This remarkable set of four polished brass sconces is designed by Paavo Tynell, one of Finland's most celebrated mid-century lighting designers, circa 1950. Known for his refined and whimsical approach to mid-century modern lighting, Tynell's work often incorporated elegant simplicity and organic forms, and these sconces are no exception.

    Crafted from polished brass, the sconces exude warmth and an understated luxury, with their minimalist yet sculptural design. The design features clean, flowing lines and subtle detailing, characteristic of Tynell's ability to elevate functional objects into works of art. Their timeless aesthetic pairs seamlessly with a variety of interior styles, from Scandinavian modern to more eclectic spaces.

    Whether used as accent lighting or to frame a focal point within a room, this rare set of Tynell sconces showcases exceptional craftsmanship and mid-century Scandinavian design innovation. Pieces by Paavo Tynell are highly sought after for their elegance, quality, and enduring beauty—making this set a remarkable addition to any design-forward collection or interior. Newly rewired to American standards, these sconces accommodate one edison base bulb achieving up to 100 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
