1950s Italian Brass, Black Metal and Opaline Glass Wall Sconce
$1,800 Italian wall sconce dating from the 1950s, characterized by a refined and decorative mid-century composition.
The fixture features a round brass wall plate supporting a shaped brass structure with a curved lower arm and a pointed vertical detail rising behind the diffuser. A black lacquered metal cross element and a matching black collar add contrast to the warm brass frame. The sconce holds an elongated opaline glass diffuser with a softly tapered profile and satin finish, designed to provide a warm and diffused light. The combination of aged brass, black lacquered metal and milky opaline glass gives the piece a balanced Italian mid-century character, both decorative and functional. The brass surfaces show a natural vintage patina, with oxidation, tonal variations and signs of age consistent with time and use.
