Pair of 1950s Italian Brass, Black Metal and Opaline Glass Globe Wall Sconces

About the Item

Pair of Italian wall sconces dating from the 1950s, characterized by a refined geometric composition and a balanced combination of brass, black lacquered metal and opaline glass. Each fixture features a round brass wall plate supporting a straight brass arm, which extends outward to hold a vertical black lacquered metal stem. The upper section is enriched by a brass sleeve and a black conical element, supporting a spherical opaline glass diffuser partially set into a shallow brass cup. The contrast between the satin white glass, warm aged brass and black metal details gives the pair a distinctive mid-century Italian character. The opaline glass globes provide a soft and even light diffusion, while the brass and black metal structure creates a clean, architectural silhouette suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors. The brass surfaces show a natural vintage patina, with oxidation, tonal variations and light signs of age consistent with time and use. The black lacquered metal elements show minor wear. The opaline glass diffusers are in good vintage condition, with light signs of use. Overall in good vintage condition. Vintage original fixtures. Wired, functional, and in working condition. Suitable for use in Europe and the US with appropriate bulbs, but not certified to current UL or other contemporary national standards. Professional installation recommended. Fitted with standard E14 sockets. Wall plate diameter: 12 cm / 4.72 in.
