The iconic Medusa heads, synonymous with Versace, evoke a timeless sense of high style and sophistication. They have great personalities – feeling regal, masculine and glamorous! The dark iron backplate has an etched texture that reflects light, a subtle detail that adds to their glam energy. Warm, contrasting bronze and mahogany accents create a rich, well-appointed palette against the iron. Feeling European, perhaps Mid-Century, they were most likely hand-made in Italy. Their substantial weight and superior construction speak to their quality and design integrity.

Much like sconces, they add symmetry and balance without the need for electricity. They’d be very cool and unexpected in an outdoor (covered) cabana or your bathroom. Likewise, being highly versatile, they’re perfect for foyers and other primary living spaces. Their chic, Versace allure pulls you in, the more you look, the more there is to love and appreciate. As a Curator and Interior Designer, these are the timeless qualities I seek – knowing it will transcend time, always in style, never trendy. A treasured find for collectors and enthusiasts of unique and one-of-a-kind pieces.
