Rare Pair of Large Sconces Model 1537 by Pietro Chiesa

Creator: Pietro Chiesa
Offered by: soyun k.

Description
Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte rare and exquisite pair of large two-light sconces model 1537 consisting of conical satin or acid-etched glass topped with brass framed round frosted glass diffusers, and mounted on lacquered brass structures on original backplates. This sconce model is the larger version and usually doesn't have these top brass framed discs which were probably custom ordered with the lights by the original owner which add a lovely accent to the sconces. These elegant wall lights emit a soft beautiful glow and will compliment any interior whether traditional or modern.
Recently rewired to U.S. standards including custom backplates.
