Art Deco Chrome Bathroom Wall Sconces – Pair with Milk Glass Shades (AS IS)

Description :
This pair of vintage chrome wall sconces is a bold example of mid-century bathroom lighting, embodying the streamlined elegance of the Art Deco era. The ribbed chrome-plated bases are topped with original milk glass cylinder shades, surrounded by pierced chrome collars in a repeating leaf motif. These lights would typically be mounted above or beside a medicine cabinet or vanity mirror. One unit has a rotary switch at the base, while the other shows evidence of a previous switch. Both fixtures show surface wear and patina consistent with age and are sold as-is, untested. These pieces are ideal candidates for restoration or repurposing into a modern-industrial space.
