AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant pair of vintage wall sconces with refined Hollywood Regency style design and strong Art Deco influences. Splendidly crafted by combining polished brass mounts and acid-etched satin glass shades, these lamps recreate a stylized shell shape capable of diffusing light softly, warmly, and atmospherically.

Each wall light unfolds from a circular brass base with a grooved finish, from which extends a golden decorative element in the shape of a stylized leaf that embraces and firmly supports the diffuser. The glass, thick and of excellent craftsmanship, features a gently undulating upper profile and radial veins that faithfully recall the natural silhouette of a scallop. By combining organic forms with mid-century glamorous aesthetics, this pair represents a perfect furnishing element for entrances, hallways, or refined living rooms.

Dimensions 21 cm wide x 16 cm high x 12 cm wall depth
Total weight 2.2 kg

Conditions

The wall sconces are presented in excellent overall condition and have never been used. The polished brass elements retain a beautiful luster with only minimal surface signs of wear and a light natural patina. The satin glass shades are completely intact, free of chipping, threading, or deep scratches.

Seller's Story

Welcome to a fascinating journey into the beating heart of the 20th century, where the objects that animated that era are transformed into custodians of timeless stories, passions and emotions in a journey that combines the elegance of antiques with the unmistakable charm of vintage. From a land rich in traditions like Italy, and in particular from the vibrant South, I dedicate myself with passion to the search for unique finds, authentic witnesses of a century full of history and innovation. Every object, whether it is an antique piece of furniture or a rare vintage item, carries with it stories and emotions, evoking memories of a time that continues to inspire.
