About the Item

Produced in Italy during the 1950s, this large pair of wall‑mounted lights centres on a circular brass backplate—10 cm (3.94 in) in diameter—from which a bent brass arm descends in a shallow U‑shape and meets a black‑lacquered steel brace that cradles a hand‑blown opaline glass shade tapered to a narrow base; illuminated, the glass shows a subtle warm gradient, while unlit it appears uniformly white. Each sconce is fitted with a standard E14 socket rated for 110–240 V, making the set compatible with electrical systems in Europe and the United States. The brass surfaces retain an even age‑related patina, the black lacquer displays minor wear, and the shades are free of chips or cracks; the electrical components are original and fully functional, yielding very good overall condition.
