Pair of Cheerful Painted Metal Daisy Sconces, 1960s -14¼"

This pair of French vintage two-light wall sconces, probably dating from the 1960s, is made from painted sheet metal, with gently curved arms, glossy green leaves and white daisies with layered petals. The enamel-like finish gives the flowers and foliage a fresh, slightly lustrous surface, while the cream-colored arms have a deliberately aged patina that softens the overall look. There are some small losses to the painted finish, consistent with age and use. The pair feels fresh and playful, with a distinctly vintage character.

They would work beautifully in a bedroom or powder room, placed either side of a mirror or above bedside tables, where they would add color and a lighthearted botanical touch. They could also bring a charming sense of fun to a breakfast nook, adding a cheerful note to morning coffee.
