Pair of Mid Century Cobalt & Frosted Glass Conical Sconces with Brass Fittings
-
Description
Realized in the manner of Gio Ponti, this sophisticated and graphic pair of sconces were created in Italy, circa 1960. They consist of conical frosted glass shades secured by polished brass tendril like supports that affix to a rectangular backplate in the same lustrous brass. A cylindrical cobalt blue glass finial descends from the base of each shade offering a high keyed tonal contrast to the existing hues, as well as a dynamic formal counterpoint. With their idiosyncratic form and ebullient palate, these sconces embody the verve and élan that discerning collectors of first rate Italian Mid Century Modern design prize. They would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century to contemporary. The sconces have been newly rewired to American standards and are in excellent vintage condition.
