Hot Pamono Bauhaus Turquoise Sconce Double Wall Light by Linder attributed to Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Germany, 1950s

At the outset, we’d like to point out that this wall lamp is the largest model of its kind—please refer to the photo with a standard-sized version for comparison. We don’t often use the word “rare,” because rarity is subjective, but this particular size is certainly not something you come across every day. This is a Midcentury Modern double-socket wall lamp or sconce, designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld in the 1950s. Its form resembles a zeppelin or cigar, crafted from porcelain with a light green/pastel green/mint green glaze and topped with two white opaline glass shades. Manufactured by Linder Wandleuchten in Germany, this piece provides two light sources and is in very good condition. It has been rewired for modern use. Ideal for various settings, it is especially well-suited for bathrooms or as a vanity mirror light.
