AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional and rare set of 3 wall-mounted lamps with a postmodern geometric design, issued under reference Model 1248.
These unique pieces embody a high-end industrial collaboration. They combine the arrow-shaped folded architectural silhouette (echoing the Chival range design by Frederik Delbart) and the historic technical motorization of the prestigious Italian house Martinelli Luce.
Each wall light conceals at the back a cylindrical metal perforated spotlight mounted on a directional chrome hinge, designed by Elio Martinelli. This mechanism allows directing the light flux toward the heart of the V-shaped plate to project indirect, diffuse, and sculptural light, avoiding glare. Thanks to their chevron shape, these sconces offer total modularity. They can be installed in different geometric configurations (Alternating horizontal alignment, 3D Star formation in Op Art style, Mirror Triangle composition or dynamic staircase arrangement).

State of conservation
Overall: Excellent vintage condition, very well preserved.
Structure: The three white-lacquered metal reflectors have very sharp edges and even paint, with minimal signs of wear commensurate with age.

Authenticity: The original aluminum labels are perfectly preserved on the structures, mentioning the historic Martinelli Luce logo, MOD. 1248, 220V ~ 1X 100W and the provenance MADE IN ITALY.

Electrical
: Original system functional. Equipped with ceramic sockets (it is recommended to use modern LED bulbs to preserve the white lacquer). Wall mounting brackets included at the back.
