Masterfully handcrafted in Spain circa 1950s. Professionally restored, fully rewired, safely grounded, and showroom-ready.

Elevate your interior architecture with this magnificent, highly sculptural set of four mid-century modernist wall light fixtures. Executed in the grand French Empire Revival style with strong Hollywood Regency undertones, each sconce features an extraordinary, solid cast brass backplate intricately chased with classical acanthus leaf swags and radial fluting. The theatrical highlight of these fixtures is the breathtaking, architectural sweeping arm cast in the powerful zoomorphic form of a mythical winged Dragon or Griffin head, masterfully holding a matching ornate brass fitter collar with three securing structural screws.

The dragon fitters coordinate a phenomenal set of original, thick-walled artisan "Scavo" style frosted glass globes. The glass displays a highly textured, rough, stone-like exterior with natural organic variations and occasional, charming trapped air bubbles—a beautiful testament to the organic imperfections of mid-century hand-blown glassmaking that perfectly mimics antique rock crystal or excavated ancient Roman glass.

Due to their refined 9-inch scale, impressive 9.75-inch projection, and the incredibly rare availability of a matching set of four, these curated luxury fixtures comply perfectly with high-end residential styling. They serve as an unparalleled architectural statement suite for formal dining salons, executive libraries, fireplace mantels, or grand entryways.

DESIGNER NOTE & CROSS-PROMOTION:
We currently have two distinct variations of this magnificent dragon cast brass model available in our gallery.
