Saskia 475: 19th Century Model Brass Wall Sconce With 2 Lights H31xW28

Born into a prominent Frisian family in 1612, Saskia Uylenburgh married acclaimed Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn in 1634. Their loving union inspired some of Rembrandt's most famous works, as Saskia often acted as his muse. She was a steadfast partner, arranged the couple's finances and drafted her will with Rembrandt in 1635 while pregnant with their first child. Saskia brought grace and wisdom to their relationship, which is evident in the ethereal beauty Rembrandt captured in portraits of his wife that stand up today as 17th-century masterpieces, immortalising her spirit and their bond.

An example of 19th-century Dutch design, Saskia 475 lights up with two gracefully curved brass arms in a refined frame measuring31 cm / 12 inch tall and28 cm / 11 inch wide. Modernly wired while retaining old-world charm, this antique wall lamp is embellished with metal scrolls that frame the round brass armature. With its warm, atmospheric glow, the Saskia 475 fits beautifully alongside Dutch chandeliers such as the Rembrandt and Rijksmuseum chandeliers. With its delicate proportions and handcrafted details, this graceful two-armed chandelier pays homage to Holland's long tradition of mastery in metal art.
