About the Item

The best qualities of European mid-century designers’ light fixtures are most often their atmospheric light, disciplined, functionalist design completed by unique solutions and design elements. Exemplified by this wall lamp, these qualities are not only timeless, but also ever so eye-catching. Design-wise this model relies on its brass structure and characteristic bubble glass shade. Controlled bubble glass, also known as “Bolle” or “Bullicante”, is glass that’s embedded with bubbles. Particularly popular during the 1950s among Murano glass artists, the bubbles are typically created by rolling the molten glass on a metal surface covered in sharp spikes, poking holes that are then covered with another layer of glass, trapping air in the holes. The spherical shade showcases this unique effect beautifully against the brass structure, especially when the light is lit. The main design element however, is the brass structure fixing the lamp to the wall. Instead of a traditional backplate, the lamp is connected to the wall through three brass poles with a sleek, modern look. As far as it is known, this model was never mass-produced, which could have resulted naturally from the elaborate design. From the elongated brass socket, bubble glass shade, and brass poles, this wall lamp has much to offer in every sense. Sconces are a timeless lighting fixtures that can easily elevate their surroundings. These lamps never go out of style, and have been in use for centuries. This is especially true for mid-century brass models like this lamp. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The brass has some marks and scratches with a beautiful patina. Dimensions: 14.37 in W x 23.22 in D x 20.07 in 36.5 cm W x 59 cm D x 51 cm H
