Description from the seller
Rare and spectacular pair of nautical-style wall sconces made of solid wood, brass, and with glass bell-shaped shades.
Presumably dating back to the 1960s or 1970s.
The sconces have 1 E27 bulb socket each (bulbs not included).
More unique than rare, with a strong personality and a very striking decorative impact that, unfortunately, the photos cannot fully convey.
Dimensions approx.: diameter 34 cm x height 20 cm.
Weight of about 2.8 kg each.
Elegant furnishing objects, they will add character and elegance to your home, as well as illuminate it with class and efficiency.
N.B. small signs due to time and some small stains are present, but overall condition is more than good considering the time elapsed; N.B. some brass oxidation spots as in the photo; N.B. some scratches on the wooden part as in the photo; N.B. they are working, though an upgrade of the electrical system is recommended; N.B. refer to the photos for the actual condition of the items.
Photos are an integral part of this description.
The packaging and trackable shipping will be taken care of to preserve their integrity.
