Mid-Century Wall Lights

Radiating rods and swing arms give this small group its period character: a brass starburst above and below a central band, a dome on a slim steel arm that folds against the wall, and a double-jointed cone that tilts to angle its shade. Black and brushed brass are the two finishes, kept unlacquered in a couple of cases so the metal ages rather than staying polished. These suit a console, dining room or hallway where the wall light itself is meant to read as a design piece, not just a light source in the corner.
