Fontana Arte Style Pair Of Italian Wall Sconces 7 Smoked Tempered Glass
About the Item
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
Peculiar and linear pair of vintage Italian wall sconces; on the back of each sconce is a sturdy metal plate to which, using shaped metal supports, seven plates of elegantly shaped smoked tempered crystal are applied; two of them are positioned to remain parallel to the wall, while the other five protrude outward, like petals of a flower. The plate on the back allows the wall sconces to be positioned on the wall; the electrical wires connected to the lamp holders also protrude from the plate; the position of the light points is perfect, in fact being free of obstacles they distribute light excellently and evenly. The sconces were made between 1970 and 1973 in a workshop on the outskirts of Milan (Italy), the skilled craftsmen were faithfully inspired by a model design of the famous Fontana Arte Company. Fontana Arte is a prestigious Italian company founded in Milan in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Giò Ponti and specializing in glass processing and furniture accessories, a prominent name in Italian design. Our wall sconces with their simple structure, clean lines, and balanced and dynamic arrangement of crystals, are two unique, elegant, and modern pieces of furniture that can be adapted to any room in the home. The sconces are in good condition, in the chrome part you can see a slight oxidation, and there are small chips on the crystals (see photo), but being minimal, when the sconces are mounted they become negligible aesthetically; however, for these very reasons, we decided to offer them at a lovely price. Measurements width cm.17, depth cm.10, height cm.28. The electrical system is working but the wiring is European, voltage compatibility in other states should always be checked before use For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.

- Kalmar J.T. Austrian Designer Pair of Ice Glass Wall SconcesBy J.T. KalmarLocated in Prato, TuscanyWe kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Iconic pair of wall sconces designed in "Brutalist" style by Julius Theodore Kalmar and produced by Kalmar for the Soria collection between 1960 and 1964, for this series the company preferred to use Murano glass; each sconce consists of a nickel-plated metal frame in the shape of an open box, in the front, there are lamp holders for two light points and an attachment on which the glass structure is easily hooked and can be removed for cleaning, while the one that rests on the wall contains the electrical wires; These spectacular sconces are characterized by the icicle-like glass components (ice glass) that look incredibly similar to a real ice sculpture; when lit and flooded with light, they cast beautiful shadows on the surrounding walls, creating a cozy warmth in the room despite their icy appearance, they play with natural (sun) light even when turned off. Founded by Julius August Kalmar in 1881 in Vienna, Kalmar originally produced handcrafted objects with cast bronze. Over the years, they partnered with acclaimed architects and designers, eventually presenting their custom-made wares at major exhibitions such as the 1888 Vienna Trade Exposition, 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, the 1901 Export Exposition Scandinavia, and the 1906 Austrian Exhibition in London. Entering the 20th century, Kalmar began crafting customized fixtures with top-tier architects and designers for some of the largest luxury projects in the world, a path they continue on today. Notable projects include Makkah Clock Royal Tower, W Doha Hotel, Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund, The Langham...Category
