AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent vintage ceiling light or wall sconce, with clear Hollywood Regency inspiration and a neoclassical style, dating from the second half of the 20th century (c. 1970).
This piece stands out for its exquisite sun- or flower-shaped design, composed of a metal frame with a high-quality, bright gold finish.
The perimeter is elegantly decorated with pierced and engraved acanthus leaves, adding a sense of movement and visual sophistication.
At the center, a hemispherical diffuser of thick glass, embossed with a raindrop or diamond-point pattern, crowns the piece.
When switched on, the glass refracts the light, creating a spectacular lighting effect and a warm atmosphere, while casting subtle radial shadows through its golden leaves.
