About the Item
Produced in Italy during the 1950s, this large pair of wall‑mounted lights combines a circular brass backplate—12 cm (4.72 in) in diameter—a bent tubular arm finished in green lacquer, a matching green metal collar, and a hand‑blown opaline glass diffuser formed by a tall cone above a flattened diamond section; when illuminated the glass shows a soft warm gradient, while unlit it appears uniformly white.
Each fixture is fitted with a standard E14 socket rated for 110–240 V, allowing use in both European and United States systems.
The brass surfaces display an even age‑related patina, the lacquered areas show minor wear, and the glass shades are free of chips or cracks.
Wiring is original and in working order, leaving the pair in very good condition.
