Description from the seller
Elegant 1950s Italian brass and opaline acrylic wall sconces – Sophisticated Mid-Century floral design
Magnificent set of Italian wall sconces from the 1950s, an authentic expression of post-war decorative design, where nature and form blend in a harmonious balance.
These lighting elements stand out for their finely worked brass structure, which develops in organic, slender lines, evoking stylized stems and leaves. The diffusers in white opaline acrylic, with a soft, enveloping shape, recall elegant flowers in bud, emitting a warm and sophisticated light.
The result is a scenographic composition with a strong visual impact, capable of enriching both classic interiors and contemporary settings, fitting perfectly into Mid-Century, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic contexts.
Period: 1950s
Origin: Italy
Materials: brass, opaline acrylic
Style: Mid-Century / floral
Pieces: 4 wall sconces
Conditions:
good overall conservational state. They show light, natural patinas on the brass, attesting to authenticity and vintage charm. Diffusers intact. The wall sconces are in good overall condition, with normal signs of aging consistent with their age.
A thorough cleaning is recommended, in particular:
- brass shows oxidation and surface patina
- the opaline acrylic diffusers show dirt and opacity due to time
These aspects are purely aesthetic and easily improved with proper cleaning, without compromising the objects’ integrity or functionality.
Dimensions (each): Height: 67 cm; Width: 30 cm; Depth: 10 cm
Shipping:
Professional and careful packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
Note for collectors:
Exquisite examples and increasingly sought after on the 20th-century design market. Ideal for those seeking decorative lighting with strong personality.
