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.
