Pair of 1950s Italian Wall Sconces in Brass and Opaline Glass

About the Item

Elegant pair of Italian wall sconces manufactured in the 1950s, featuring slender angular brass arms supporting tapered satin opaline glass shades. The minimalist asymmetric structure combined with the warm aged brass patina gives the lamps a refined mid-century modern character with a distinctly Italian aesthetic. The softly diffused opaline glass creates a warm and intimate light, while the sculptural geometry allows the sconces to work beautifully in bedrooms, hallways, reading corners, or hospitality interiors. The brass surfaces show a beautiful natural oxidation and age-related patina consistent with time and use. 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.
