About the Item
This vintage pair of Italian gilt-metal sconces is an elegant example of mid-century lighting design by Banci Firenze, the esteemed Florentine manufacturer known for its refined craftsmanship and decorative artistry. Each two-light sconce features gracefully scrolling arms adorned with delicate crystal glass flowers, which catch the light beautifully and add a touch of sparkle against the warm gilded finish. The combination of sculptural metalwork and shimmering crystal elements creates a romantic and timeless aesthetic.
Manufactured in Italy circa 1950s–1960s, the sconces remain in good vintage condition, displaying some paint loss and their original patina, both of which contribute to their authentic charm. They were sourced from a private estate sale in Florence, Italy, adding desirable provenance and a direct connection to the region’s long tradition of fine artisanal lighting.
Each fixture requires two European E14 / 110-volt candelabra bulbs, up to 40 watts each. Perfect for a living room, hallway, bedroom, or formal dining space, these sconces complement a wide range of interiors—including Hollywood Regency, Italian Mid-Century, French Provincial, and classic European décor—while bringing a touch of Florentine elegance to any room.

Banci Firenze
For more than a century, Italian manufacturer Banci Firenze has earned acclaim all over the world for its extensive range of innovative lighting and other furniture designs that draw on geometry, nature and modernist architecture.
Founded in 1899 by Giuseppe Banci, Banci Firenze began as a workshop in Florence that initially specialized in restoring glass, crystal and iron chandeliers. During the 1900s, the business evolved — Banci Firenze became a manufacturer of exquisite light fixtures from hand-blown glass, handmade gold leaf and wrought iron.
Although the company is best known for their meticulously designed chandeliers, wall sconces, flush-mount ceiling lights and table lamps, Banci Firenze’s offerings eventually expanded to include other furnishings during the mid-20th century. Especially popular in the 1950s and 1960s were Banci Firenze’s collection of Hollywood Regency-style pieces, such as glass-topped side tables with gilt flower accents and bases. In the 1970s, dining room tables and cocktail tables characterized by mid-century modernist and Art Deco flourishes were among Banci Firenze’s most popular designs.
In the 1980s, Banci Firenze garnered attention for a unique storage piece designed by the Italian architect and designer Ugo La Pietra. Shaped like a staircase, the so-called “flag cabinet” featured brass drawers, silver-cast ball feet sculpted in brass and a brass flag on a pyramid-shaped top. The cabinet was presented at the Abitare il Tempo exhibition in Verona.
Today, Banci Firenze continues the tradition of designing widely coveted, high-quality lighting and furniture crafted with time-honored Italian techniques.

By Maison Baguès
Located in Charleston, SC
