Some common types of outdoor wall sconces found in Art Moderne duplex houses include:
1. Streamlined Geometric Sconces: These sconces feature clean lines and geometric shapes, often with a combination of curves and straight edges. They are designed to create a sleek and streamlined appearance.
2. Opal Glass Sconces: Art Moderne style often incorporates opal glass diffusers to soften the light and create a glowing effect. These sconces typically have a metal frame with a cylindrical or oval opal glass shade.
3. Bullet Sconces: These sconces have a bullet-shaped design, featuring a rounded or tapered cylindrical body extending from the wall. The light source is usually located at the top of the sconce, creating a focused beam of light.
4. Nautical-inspired Sconces: As Art Moderne drew inspiration from ocean liners and futuristic technology, nautical-inspired wall sconces with porthole-like designs and metal accents were commonly used. These sconces often incorporate industrial elements and sleek metallic finishes.
5. Recessed Sconces: In some Art Moderne duplex houses, recessed wall sconces were installed to create a subtle and integrated lighting effect. These sconces are set into the wall, with the light source recessed behind a cover or diffuser.
6. Frosted Glass Sconces: Frosted glass was a popular choice for Art Moderne outdoor wall sconces, as it creates a soft, diffused light and adds a touch of elegance. These sconces often feature a metal frame with a frosted glass shade in various shapes, such as rectangular or cylindrical.
7. Sconces with Curved Designs: Art Moderne emphasizes curvilinear forms, and some outdoor wall sconces reflect this aesthetic. Sconces with curved arms, shades, or overall designs can be found, adding a sense of fluidity to the exterior of Art Moderne duplex houses.
Note that the specific design choices may vary, as Art Moderne style is characterized by the use of innovative materials, clean lines, and simplicity, which can result in creative and unique interpretations of these common types of sconces.
