Description from the seller

Raffinate applique italiane anni ’50 in ottone e metacrilato – Elegante design floreale Mid-Century
Magnificent set of wall sconces from Italy dating to 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 into organic and slender lines, evoking stylized stems and leaves. The opal white acrylic diffusers, with a soft and enveloping shape, recall elegant unfurling flowers, spreading a warm and sophisticated light.
The result is a scenographic composition of great visual impact, capable of enriching both classic interiors and contemporary spaces, fitting perfectly into Mid-Century, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic contexts.

Period: 1950s
Origin: Italy
Materials: brass, opal acrylic
Style: Mid-Century / floral
Number of pieces: 4 sconces

Conditions:
buono stato conservativo generale. They show light and natural patinas of time on the brass, which attest to authenticity and vintage charm. Diffusers intact. The sconces are generally in good condition, with normal signs of aging consistent with their age.
A thorough cleaning is recommended, in particular:

- brass shows oxidation and surface patina
- the opal acrylic diffusers show signs of dirt and opacity due to time

These aspects are purely aesthetic and easily improved with proper cleaning, without compromising the integrity or functionality of the objects.

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:
Elegant specimens increasingly sought after on the 20th-century design market. Ideal for those looking for decorative lighting with strong personality.
