Masterfully handcrafted in Spain circa 1950s. Professionally restored, rewired, and showroom-ready.

Elevate your interior architecture with this monumental mid-century modernist statement piece. Executed in a magnificent Hollywood Regency style with strong Brutalist undertones, this grand sunburst feature is hand-forged from heavy-gauge metal, showcasing a double concentric border of stylized, sculptural repeating leaves. The entire frame is finished with its original, rich golden gilt leaf overlay, displaying an outstanding historical depth, warm period luster, and an authentic untouched vintage patina.

The true highlight of this masterpiece is its intelligent dual-functional engineering and breathtaking integrated backlighting. Due to its flat low-profile design, this fixture complies perfectly with dual high-end residential styling. It can be installed seamlessly either as a magnificent backlit Wall Mirror/Sconce or as a dramatic flush-mount Ceiling Plafond (where the central mirror can be optionally replaced with frosted glass to serve as a grand ceiling light). When illuminated, the hidden bulb cluster casts a spectacular, highly sculptural ambient halo glow on the surrounding wall or ceiling surfaces.

With its impressive 28.5-inch scale and powerful artistic presence, this curated luxury fixture is ideal for formal entryways, dining salons, sophisticated foyers, or executive office styling.
