Find vintage-style wall lights

Since buying a pair of 1950s sofas and table at auction, I’ve been looking for wall lights in a similar style. Any suggestions?

An iconic wall light of the period is the Visor, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1957. Available in eight colours, including Black and White, from Skandium, it costs £420. A wall light based on this design, in Black or White only, costs £100 at Vita Interiors. Also look at two lights from Richard Taylor Designs; the 50s Wall Light with a pierced metal shade in Ivory or Black (above) costs from £1,386, and the Milano costs from £495 with a card shade. You could also investigate vintage fittings from companies such as Skinflint Design, which has a constantly changing stock of reclaimed 20th-century lighting.
