About the Item

This stunning pair of sconces, dating back to the 1960s, exemplifies the elegance and refinement of Italian design from that era. Attributed to Fontana Arte, a renowned brand known for its craftsmanship, these sconces showcase a perfect blend of high-quality Murano glass and finely worked brass. The Murano glass, famous for its superior quality and artisanal craftsmanship, gives these sconces a unique brightness and crystal-clear transparency. The brass, with its natural patina, completes the design with an elegant, timeless touch. These pieces are not only functional but also true works of art, capable of enhancing any space with their refined presence. Each sconce measures 35 cm x 35 cm, making them an ideal size to add a sophisticated lighting touch to any space. The glass is pristine, with no cracks or chips, and the brass has developed a beautiful patina, adding authenticity and vintage charm. The glass is mounted over the patinated brass plate and is held securely in place by four "clamps." These clamps can be tightened or loosened using a beautiful brass screw/knob that can be easily turned by hand, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Perfect for an entryway, living room, or bedroom, these sconces seamlessly integrate into both classic and modern settings, offering soft and evocative lighting. Ideal for collectors and lovers of high-end design, they represent an investment in style and quality without compromise.
