About the Item
This magnificent gilded iron wall sconce, attributed to Pier Luigi Colli, exemplifies the extraordinary craftsmanship and decorative poetry for which Colli is celebrated. Crafted in the 1950s, the piece features an opulent vertical composition of scrolling branches, star-shaped blossoms, and delicately worked leaves, all forged and gilded by hand.
The ironwork displays the distinctive textured, dotted surface often found in Colli’s designs, a tactile, jewel-like finish that enriches the gold leaf and highlights the sculptural depth of each botanical element. The six candle-style lights crown the curling arms with an elegant symmetry, creating a dramatic silhouette that feels both ornate and gracefully balanced.
With its generous scale, theatrical presence, and unmistakably Italian mid-century artistry, this sconce makes a striking statement in an entryway, dining room, or any interior in need of a refined decorative focal point. A rare and beautiful example of the type of gilt iron craftsmanship associated with Colli’s atelier in Turin.
