Pair of brass wall lights by Boréns, model 6477, produced in Sweden around the 1970s.
Each wall light consists of a large, slightly curved polished brass backplate, in front of which sits a half-moon shaped satin brass screen. The screen is decorated with numerous irregular perforations cut into the metal, creating a particularly graphic light effect when illuminated.
The two wall lights form a true brutalist pair. One retains its original Boréns label bearing the reference 6477, allowing the model to be identified precisely.
The wall lights have been rewired with new electrical wiring and are ready to be installed.
