An exceptional pair of sculptural brass wall sconces designed by Angelo Brotto for Esperia, Italy, circa 1970. These pieces are a testament to Brotto’s ability to blur the line between functional lighting and fine art, making them a prized addition for collectors and designers seeking expressive, sculptural lighting with historical pedigree. The sconces feature elongated organic forms in patinated cast brass, executed with the expressive fluidity that defines Brotto’s most celebrated works. Their bold, vertical composition is anchored by two protruding arms, each holding a single light. The sharp yet elegant contours evoke a sense of movement and mid-century futurism, reminiscent of both Brutalist and Art Nouveau influences, yet wholly unique to Brotto’s aesthetic vocabulary. Crafted by Esperia, a manufacturer renowned for its experimental and high-quality lighting in the post-war period, these sconces demonstrate the kind of craftsmanship and bold design language that positioned Italian lighting at the forefront of international design in the 1970s. The sconces are in excellent original condition with a rich patina that enhances their sculptural depth and vintage character. Rare to find as a pair, these pieces are ideal for architectural interiors, gallery-like spaces, or discerning collectors of 20th-century Italian design. A rare opportunity to own collectible and atmospheric lighting by one of Italy’s most iconic lighting designers. Kindly note that the listed price is for the set of 2 and bulbs are not included.
