Description
Large 1950s Stilnovo brass and glass sconce. Executed in brass and thick opaline glass, with original unmodified cat eye shaped sculptural brass backplate. A sculptural and refined design of attractive scale that is in many ways characteristic of 1950s Italian design at its highest level.
Stilnovo was one of the most innovative lighting design companies in Italy during the midcentury era. Their designs have been long sought after by collectors in the know.
