Pair of Brass Sputnik Wall Lamps, Italy, 1960s

Striking pair of Italian wall lamps from the 1960s, designed with three elegantly splayed brass arms on each fixture. Their branching, fountain-like form gives them a lively sculptural presence and captures the playful energy associated with the Sputnik era, while the warm brass finish adds a refined and timeless character. These lamps work especially well as statement lighting in a hallway, living room or bedroom, where their open silhouette creates a light and airy impression on the wall. Age-related wear and patina are present on the brass surfaces, consistent with vintage use and in keeping with the authentic character of the pieces. The lights require E14 light bulbs.
