About the Item
These two 1950s wall sconces, designed and manufactured in Italy, exude the timeless elegance and sophistication characteristic of mid-century design. Torlasco, a renowned Italian lighting designer, was known for his innovative and artistic approach to lighting fixtures, and these sconces reflect his signature style.
Featuring a sleek and minimalist design, the sconces emphasize clean lines and geometric shapes. Each sconce consists of three gracefully extending arms from a central backplate, creating a dynamic and inviting silhouette on the wall. The slightly curved arms soften the angular design, adding a touch of refinement.
Designed to provide both direct and ambient lighting, these sconces are as functional as they are visually striking. Their upward and downward light distribution enhances the ambiance of a room, casting a warm and inviting glow.
Originally created in the 1950s, these sconces remain relevant and desirable today due to their timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship. Designed by Oscar Torlasco, they embody a perfect fusion of form and function, making them an excellent choice for those seeking to add a touch of mid-century elegance to their home or space.
The lamps have been professionally cleaned and polished. Each lamp has 3 E14 lamp holders. The lamps work with their original electrical system.
