About the Item
We kindly invite you to read the full description, as it provides technical and historical details to ensure the authenticity of our items.
This elegant and sophisticated pair of vintage Italian wall sconces is crafted from polished and nickel-plated brass. Each sconce features a sturdy metal frame with two shaped brackets at its ends, supporting seven crystal panels connected by slender curved tubes. The two brackets are joined by a central plate that houses the single light socket. Electrical wires run through this back plate, allowing for both power supply and secure wall mounting. The seven finely shaped crystal panels alternate in color: three have a vibrant, luminous yellow hue, while the remaining four are clear. All extend outward in a petal-like arrangement, resembling the delicate shape of a flower. The light disperses beautifully through the panels, creating a captivating interplay of reflections and illumination. Produced between 1970 and 1973 by Veca (both sconces retain their original adhesive labels), these fixtures may have been created in collaboration with Fontana Arte. Veca was a renowned Italian company specializing in glass and metal bathroom accessories, particularly active during the modern design movement of the 20th century. Although detailed historical records of Veca are limited, the company was distinguished by the quality and elegance of its products, often characterized by colored glass and chrome-finished metal accents. Fontana Arte, founded in Milan in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Giò Ponti, is a leading name in Italian design. Specializing in glass craftsmanship and home furnishings, the company is especially celebrated for its innovative lighting designs. During the 1960s and 1970s, Fontana Arte continued to collaborate with prominent designers, consistently incorporating glass as a signature element in its creations. While no official records confirm an ongoing partnership between Veca and Fontana Arte, it is plausible that Veca supplied components or produced specific pieces for Fontana Arte at certain times, given their shared expertise in glass and metalwork. With their clean lines, minimalist structure, and well-balanced crystal arrangement, these sconces are unique, elegant, and versatile decorative pieces, perfect for enhancing any interior space. The sconces are in good condition, with only minor signs of oxidation on the lamp holders and nickel-plated frame. The electrical system is working but the wiring is European, the compatibility of the voltage in other countries must always be checked by an electrician before use.
