Mid-Century Italian Wall Sconce, Attributed to Fontana Arte, 1950s

About the Item

This Italian wall sconce, attributed to Fontana Arte from the 1950s, features a design that marries functionality with understated elegance. The fixture is constructed of brass that has naturally oxidized and patinated over time, providing a vintage charm. The light is diffused through an opaline glass shade, which has a couple of minor imperfections, as detailed in the accompanying image. . The sconce is designed to accommodate a standard E14 socket, making it suitable for both European and American electrical standards. This lighting piece is an excellent addition to any collection of mid-century design or for use in a contemporary setting that values a touch of historical aesthetics.
