Description from the seller

Raffinate Italian wall lights from the 1950s in brass and acrylic glass – Elegant mid-century floral design
Magnificent set of Italian wall sconces dating from the 1950s, an authentic expression of postwar decorative design, where nature and form blend in a harmonious balance.
These luminous elements stand out for their finely worked brass structure, which unfolds in organic, slender lines, evoking stylized stems and leaves. The opaline white acrylic diffusers, with a soft, enveloping shape, recall elegant unopened flowers, spreading a warm and sophisticated light.
The result is a scenographic composition with striking visual impact, capable of enriching both classical interiors and contemporary spaces, fitting perfectly into Mid-Century, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic contexts.

Number of pieces: 4 sconces

Conditions:
good overall condition. They show light and natural patinas on the brass, attesting to authenticity and vintage charm. Diffusers intact. The sconces present in good general condition, with normal signs of aging consistent with their age.
