AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of vintage 1970s wall sconces in the Mid-Century Modern style. The complete frames are made of gold-tone brass, and each holds two elegant textured Murano glass shades with a delicate leaf-shaped design.
- Condition: Good overall condition, used, with minor signs of age.
- Detailed flaws: One of the glass leaves has a small, slight surface flaw. The brass bases also show light wear and patina from natural rubbing over the years. All these details are clearly shown in the lot photographs.
- Age: 1970s.
- Material: Murano glass and gold-tone brass.
- Origin: Italy.
- Dimensions and weight: 34 cm high x 23 cm wide x 12 cm deep. As these are handcrafted pieces, each glass leaf varies individually in thickness and is slightly different in weight. A complete sconce with both glass shades fitted weighs approximately 1,162 grams.
- Colors: Translucent/frosted glass and gold-tone metal.
