1950s Italian Stilnovo Brass and Opaline Glass Wall Sconces
$5,700Pair of Italian wall sconces from the 1950s, attributed to Stilnovo, crafted in brass with black lacquered brass accents and opaline glass diffusers. Each sconce is composed of a circular brass wall plate (12 cm / approx. 4.7 in diameter) from which a slender brass arm projects outward and angles gently upward. The light source is supported by a curved brass stem, creating a dynamic, asymmetric composition that gives the fixture a sense of lightness and movement. A thin black lacquered metal rod runs diagonally from the wall plate to the arm, acting both as a structural brace and as a strong graphic element—an elegant contrast to the warm tone of the brass. The opaline glass diffuser features a softly tapered, double-cone silhouette, visually divided by a black lacquered metal band that echoes the linear structure of the frame. The glass provides a soft, even, and atmospheric light. Fitted with standard E14 sockets, suitable for Europe, USA, and Canada with compatible bulbs.
