Design Sleuth: Retro Wood Accordion Sconce

Spotted a while back in a Danish modern kitchen in Adelaide, Australia: a vintage wooden accordion sconce that we have been coveting ever since. To find one like it, we expected to make late-night 1st Dibs searches and early morning flea market visits. But then, we came across a lookalike at West Elm ringing in at under $200.
