MODEL 1547 SEMI-CIRCLE WALL SCONCES BY VRIELAND DESIGN, THE NETHERLANDS, 1980s

RARE SET OF MODEL 1547 WALL SCONCES, PRODUCED BY VRIELAND DESIGN IN THE NETHERLANDS DURING THE 1980S. EACH LAMP FEATURES A SCULPTURAL SEMI-CIRCULAR FORM, COMBINING A CURVED WHITE-LACQUERED METAL SHADE WITH A SUBSTANTIAL ELEMENT OF THICK LIGHT-GREEN GLASS POSITIONED DIRECTLY BENEATH IT. AN ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER’S LABEL IS PRESENT.

THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE CLEAN WHITE METAL AND THE TRANSLUCENT COLOURED GLASS CREATES A DISTINCTIVE LAYERED APPEARANCE. WHEN ILLUMINATED, THE METAL SHADE DIRECTS A BEAUTIFUL WARM GLOW UPWARDS ACROSS THE WALL, WHILE THE GLASS BELOW CATCHES AND REFRACTS THE LIGHT ALONG ITS THICK POLISHED EDGES. THE RESULT IS BOTH ATMOSPHERIC AND ARCHITECTURAL.

THE WALL LIGHTS ARE PRESENTED IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION. THE WHITE METAL SHADES SHOW A FEW SCRATCHES, AS VISIBLE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, ALONGSIDE MINOR TRACES OF AGE CONSISTENT WITH THEIR HISTORY. A RARE AND ELEGANT PAIR THAT PERFECTLY REFLECTS THE EXPERIMENTAL USE OF GLASS, METAL AND GEOMETRIC FORMS FOUND IN DUTCH LIGHTING DESIGN OF THE 1980S.
