About the Item

A pair of round wall sconces designed and manufactured in Italy in the Sixties. They can be used also as ceiling lights, good conditions overall, in working order, they need regular e14 bulbs. The 1960s saw the popularity of Mid-Century Modern design, characterized by sleek lines, organic forms, and a blend of natural and Industrial materials. One notable style within this era was the use of gilded metal and bubble glass in wall sconces. These sconces added an element of sophistication and glamour to interior spaces. Italian design played a significant role in shaping the Mid-Century Modern movement, and many exquisite lighting fixtures were created during this time. The combination of gilded metal and bubble glass was particularly favoured for wall sconces, as it created a visually striking contrast. Gilded metal refers to a metal that has been coated with a thin layer of gold. This technique was often used to add a luxurious touch to furniture and decor items. In the case of wall sconces, the gilded metal was typically used for the structural framework or the decorative elements of the sconce. Bubble glass, on the other hand, refers to glass that has irregular bubbles on it, giving it a textured and dynamic appearance. This type of glass was often used for lampshades or diffusers in wall sconces. The bubbles created a captivating visual effect when the light passed through them, adding an element of intrigue to the overall design. These rounded sconces were sought after for their combination of elegance, craftsmanship, and innovative and they added an element of sophistication and glamour to interior spaces.
