A nice pair of French art deco wall sconces in nickel plated solid brass or bronze made around 1928-1935. The nice mounts hold shades in clear frosted molded-pressed glass by Cristalleries de Verdun.

Etablissements M. Model, the company of Maurice Jules Model (1900-1973), was created in 1925 in Paris. With its shop and offices at 18 rue des Fêtes. In 1928 Maurice Model opened a glass factory "Cristalleries de Verdun" at 10 rue Dame-Zabée in the city of Verdun. The factory was heavily bombed in June 1940 and subsequently closed.

Both panels are signed Verdun France on the rim. The wall lights are 29,5 cm (11,6) wide and 15,9 cm high (6,3 inches). They project 10,4 cm (4,1") from the wall. The sconces are in very good condition. I re-nickeled and patinated the mountings. And the wall lamps are rewired with American candelabra base sockets.

At the moment I have three pairs available.

Free worldwide shipping. The sconces will be shipped with full insurance by priority mail.
