THE MARTINCOURT APPLIANCE

A decorative wall lamp available in 3 versions

To light up, the Egyptians used silver mirrors that reflected light. This principle is reinterpreted here on a wall lamp with clean, curved shapes.

This sconce bears the name “Martincourt” in memory of this bronzier, sculptor and modeler (1762-1791) who supplied high quality candlesticks, sconces and clocks for the crown.

AND THE IDEA
COMES TO LIFE …

A VERSATILE APPLIANCE
IN THREE VERSIONS

To fit any interior:
  • an electric version with connection box
  • an electric version with a 2m wire, switch and electrical outlet for places that do not have a dedicated electrical system for wall lights
  • the traditional version with a candle

FINISHES

The reflector is shiny polished then varnished.

The arm of the wall lamp and the bobèche have a ” champagne ” finish. That is to say that the brass is brushed very finely then a varnish is applied.

MATTER

The wall lamp is made entirely of brass.

The reflector is made from a sheet of brass. This is cut to shape and then hammered to give it its concave shape.

This work is done by hand . Hammering requires great dexterity to obtain a homogeneous result on the reflector.
