Veca Style Pair Of Italian Blue Glass And Nickel-Plated Brass Wall Sconces

About the Item

We kindly invite you to read the full description, as we strive to provide you with detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This elegant and sophisticated pair of vintage Italian wall sconces is crafted from polished, nickel-plated brass. Each sconce features two circular panels of exquisite blue glass, expertly crafted to diffuse a soft, ambient light. The glass panels are held parallel by a central nickel-plated brass structure, which houses the light socket. At the back, a sturdy metal mounting plate allows for secure wall installation, with electrical wiring extending from the rear. These sconces were produced between 1960 and 1965 in an artisan workshop on the outskirts of Milan (Lombardy, Italy), where skilled craftsmen faithfully followed a design inspired by the renowned Veca company, drawing influence from a Fontana Arte concept. Veca is a prestigious Italian brand that has been transforming glass and plastic into functional design elements for decades. Fontana Arte, founded in Milan in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Giò Ponti, is another esteemed Italian company specializing in glasswork and high-end decorative lighting. These sconces embody the distinctive style and craftsmanship of Italian design from the 1960s and 1970s—an era when Italy led the way in innovative lighting solutions. The combination of colored glass and metal was a hallmark of this period, resulting in striking and timeless pieces. Their well-proportioned dimensions make them an ideal choice for enhancing any interior with a touch of elegance. The interplay between the deep blue glass and the reflective metal creates a captivating visual contrast, making these sconces not just light sources, but true decorative statements. These sconces integrate seamlessly into both modern and classic interiors. They are perfect for adding a refined touch to a living room, a sophisticated hallway, or an elegant bedroom, where they create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Their timeless aesthetic allows them to complement contemporary furnishings or bring a stylish design element to more traditional settings. The soft, diffused light through the blue glass creates a relaxing and intimate ambiance, ideal for highlighting architectural details or decorative elements within a space. In a vintage or mid-century modern setting, these sconces serve as the perfect finishing touch, thanks to their distinctive 1960s–1970s design. Additionally, they are well-suited for commercial spaces such as restaurants, boutiques, or art galleries, where lighting must be both functional and aesthetically appealing. The sconces are in good vintage condition, with minor signs of oxidation on the light sockets and nickel-plated structure, consistent with their age. The electrical system is original and in working order, but features European wiring and should be inspected or replaced as needed. We have included only one bulb so that buyers can choose the shape and style that best suits their preferences. Dimensions: Diameter: 18 cm (7.1 in). Depth: 11 cm (4.3 in). For all our shipments, we use high-quality packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and safety for our items.
