Each fixture features a circular brass wall plate measuring 10 cm in diameter (approximately 3.94 inches), from which a gently angled brass arm extends outward. The arm supports a small conical element in light green lacquered metal, finished with a pointed brass tip, from which the opaline glass shade is suspended.

The composition is defined by a clean interplay of materials and shapes, with the soft curvature of the opaline glass contrasted by the sharper, more geometric profile of the lacquered metal cone. The light green tone introduces a subtle color accent, typical of Italian design of the period, while remaining understated and easy to integrate in both classic and contemporary interiors.

The brass elements display a natural and even patina developed over time, with warm tonal variations that highlight the authenticity of the piece. The lacquered surfaces are well preserved, showing only minor signs of age consistent with careful use. The opaline glass shades are spherical and open at the bottom, providing a soft and diffused light.

The sconces are fitted with standard E14 sockets and are compatible with electrical systems in Europe, the USA, and Canada. Overall condition is very good, with light wear and patina consistent with age that contribute to the original character of the pieces.
