AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These wall sconces by Marcello Fantoni, made around 1960, are a masterful example of functional sculpture in Mid-Century Modern style. They are characterized by a cast brass structure, an alloy metal, featuring a rough, organic texture that recalls Brutalist aesthetics, with asymmetrical, slender lines that evoke primitive forms. The pair of lights for each piece is topped with fabric lampshades in warm tones, creating a sophisticated material contrast with the metallic and sculptural solidity of the support.
Height each: 46 cm
Generally good condition of preservation; the wires are present as in the photo.
Some slight natural signs due to time, as shown by the photographs, both on the gilded part and on the lampshades.
Please study the photographs carefully as they are an integral part of the description. Tracked shipping including secure packaging, any duties and customs taxes will be at the buyer's expense.
The lot does not include bulbs.
