Each sconce features a small circular wall plate in black-lacquered metal with a brass rim, measuring 7 cm in diameter (approximately 2.75 inches). From the center extends a short brass arm supporting a tapered black-lacquered metal socket holder.
the light is diffused through elongated teardrop-shaped opaline glass shades, which soften the illumination and create a warm, atmospheric glow. The combination of slender proportions and restrained materials results in a design that is both decorative and discreet, well suited to intimate architectural settings such as hallways, bedrooms, or accent walls.
the metal surfaces show a natural patina consistent with age. The brass elements display gentle oxidation and tonal variation, while the black lacquer shows minor wear and small losses in places, visible upon close inspection. These signs of age are consistent with authentic vintage pieces and do not affect functionality. The opaline glass shades are in good vintage condition, free from cracks or chips.
fitted with standard e14 sockets, the sconces are compatible with european, us, and canadian electrical systems and are dimmable when used with appropriate bulbs and dimmer systems.
