AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Brass and Beige Enamelled Steel Wall Lamps – Mid-Century Design.
Exclusive pair of wall lamps (appliques) dating from the 1940s. An authentic and fascinating example of pre-war design that blends geometric rigor and elegance typical of leading figures such as Gio Ponti and Pietro Chiesa
Details of the article:
• Period: 1940s (early Modernism).
• Materials: Supporting brass frame with elegant decorative scrolls, contrasted with torchiere-style diffusers in enamelled steel in a refined beige (cream) color.
• Finishes: The steel cones feature the characteristic glaze of the era, solid and tactile, while the brass base shows a beautiful natural patina.
• Design: A unique "hybrid": the base recalls Liberty/Deco, while the enamelled steel cones anticipate 1950s industrial design. Perfect for Mid-Century, Industrial-Chic, or Eclectic interiors.
