1950s Stilnovo Style Mid-Century Modern Brass and Glass Big Wall Sconces

About the Item

These 1950s brass and glass sconces beautifully blend form and function, embodying the sleek, timeless sophistication of Mid-Century Modern lighting. Their large size and premium materials make them a standout feature in any interior. They are stunning examples of 1950s Mid-Century Modern design, often attributed to or inspired by Bruno Gatta, a prominent figure in Italian lighting design. They feature a timeless combination of brass and opaline glass, materials widely favored in the mid-20th century for their elegance and functionality. The sconces boast large, elongated, conical glass shades made from opaline glass. The glass has a smooth, matte finish that diffuses light beautifully, providing a warm and ambient glow when illuminated. The brass components, including the arms and wall mounts, exhibit a rich patina that adds character to them. The aged brass offers a warm contrast to the sleek white glass. The angular, geometric brass frames showcase a clean, minimalist design typical of Mid-Century Modern aesthetics, while the construction emphasizes functionality and durability. The rectangular backplates are sturdy and designed for wall mounting, providing a stable base for the brass arm and glass shade assembly. The visible screws and mechanical elements underline the industrial-modern aesthetic. Perfect for use as statement lighting in living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, these sconces would elevate any space with their understated luxury. They could also work well in hospitality settings, such as boutique hotels or stylish restaurants, thanks to their sculptural yet practical design. Glasses are in perfect conditions, they have been rewired for a professional electrician and are ready to use with regular bulbs.
