This unique pair of vintage Italian wall sconces features two curved sheets of overlapping glass. The outer sheet is gray-green, while the one underneath is white opaline glass, creating a fascinating light-diffusing effect. Each sconce is mounted on a chrome-plated metal frame that supports two light sources and attaches to the wall. The light sources, positioned in the center of the structure, are covered by glass plates, distributing light evenly and avoiding glare, thus creating soft and welcoming ambient lighting. This type of diffusion is ideal for creating a relaxing and sophisticated atmosphere in any setting.
The sconces were made between 1970 and 1973 in a workshop on the outskirts of Milan, where skilled craftsmen faithfully followed a design by the renowned Veca company, inspired by Fontana Arte. Veca is a prestigious Italian company that has been transforming crystal and plastic into functional designs for many years. Fontana Arte, founded in Milan in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Giò Ponti, is another esteemed Italian company specializing in glass processing and furniture accessories. These wall sconces blend perfectly into various types of decor, thanks to their versatile and elegant design:
1. Modern Decor: The clean lines and contemporary materials make them ideal for modern and minimalist interiors, where they can add a touch of class and sophistication.
2. Vintage Furnishings: In a vintage or mid-century setting, these wall sconces are a perfect complement with their aesthetics reminiscent of 1970s design.
3. Commercial Spaces: They are also perfect for commercial settings such as restaurants, boutiques, or art galleries, where lighting needs to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Our wall sconces are a prime example of 1970s Italian design, combining glass and metal to offer both functionality and aesthetic beauty. Their simple structure, clean lines, and balanced, innovative arrangement of glass plates make them unique, elegant, and modern pieces of furniture adaptable to any room in the home. The sconces are in good condition. The electrical system is working, but the wiring is European; voltage compatibility in other countries should always be checked before use.
Measurements of each wall sconce: width 12 cm, depth 10 cm, height 24 cm.
