The fixture features a conical brass body in cast metal with a warm patina, paired with a flattened opaline glass diffuser that emits a soft, ambient glow. Its sharp, geometric silhouette and minimal detailing capture the timeless elegance of Italian mid-century design. Crafted with attention to proportion and balance, the sconce displays subtle variations in the natural aging of the brass, enhancing its vintage character. Its shape allows for flexible installation in either vertical or horizontal orientation, making it a versatile choice for both residential and hospitality settings. Made of cast brass and handblown opaline glass, it is in excellent vintage condition with minor signs of age-related patina. A large number of matching units is available, sourced from original warehouse stock in Northern Italy — a rare opportunity to build a cohesive set from a single origin.
