Original and very special pair of Italian wall sconces; each consists of three chrome-plated brass tubes at the top of which are arranged the lamp holders, these tubes are connected to another tube divided in half that leans against the wall and contains the wires for the electrical connections. Let us say right away that in both sconces these half-pipes, have chrome defects due to time (well highlighted in the photos): however, when the sconces are mounted, they are not very visible; a new total chrome plating would have completely distorted the original color, so we decided not to do it and offer them in the state they are at a very attractive price. They were made between 1964 and 1968 in a workshop in Milan inspired by a design by Gaetano Sciolari, a famous and prolific Italian designer and entrepreneur, in the Space Age style. Angelo Gaetano Sciolari contributed greatly to the success of Italian design in the world particularly in the United States. Sciolari was an outstanding businessman, but also a creative designer. Throughout his career, he designed incredible lights. After the death of his father in 1949, Sciolari had to run the family business. In just a few years, the designer transformed the firm into an international enterprise! Sciolari's manufacturer became the first Italian light seller in the United States. Gaetano Sciolari and his products have been an inspiration and model for artisans and important Italian lighting companies. The style of the wall sconces is the "Space Age", this aesthetic current was born at the dawn of the space age, commonly attributed to the launch of Sputnik in October 1957, and continued until the 1970s. The objects of that period are characterized by essential volumes that recall geometric shapes, which definitively broke with the rationalist tradition. Our wall sconces are characterized, as we said, by a "spatial" design, typical of those fascinating times; with their basic and geometric style, they are a real piece of furniture that gives a unique atmosphere in the house. The condition of the sconces is good as explained above. Measurements width cm.19, depth cm.14, height cm.26. The electrical system is working but the wiring is European, voltage compatibility in other states should always be checked by an electrician before use. For all our shipments we use special packing materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the items. less
