Each fixture is composed of a round brass wall plate measuring 10 cm in diameter (approximately 3.94 inches) from which a slender curved brass arm extends outward in a gentle hook-like form. The arm supports a small black lacquered metal cup that holds a softly faceted opaline glass shade. The shade has a subtle geometric profile, slightly tapered toward the base, giving the piece a refined and understated architectural presence.

The brass components display a natural, even patina developed over time, with warm tonal variation that highlights the age and authenticity of the material. The curved arm and wall plate show light surface wear consistent with normal use, contributing to the character typical of well-preserved mid-century lighting. The black lacquered metal elements remain well preserved and provide a quiet contrast to the brass structure and the matte white surface of the opaline glass.

The opaline glass shades diffuse light softly and evenly, producing a warm and comfortable illumination suitable for bedrooms, hallways, or living areas. 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 minor signs of age that do not affect function and reinforce the original vintage character of the pieces.
