Pair of Italian Art Deco Embossed Glass + Brass Sconces, 1950s

$4,200.00

A pair of Italian Art Deco glass and brass wall sconces from the 1950s, each composed of two curved glass panels that give the light a layered presence.

A broad sheet of clear glass forms the outer silhouette of each sconce, its substantial thickness visible along edges that take on a pale blue-green tone. The panel bows gently away from the wall, framing a narrower curved shade positioned in front.

The front glass carries an irregular embossed pattern of clustered circles and pebble-like shapes, alternating translucent areas with clearer passages. This scattered texture softens the view of the bulb while creating small points of reflection across the surface. Against the smooth outer panels, the pattern becomes the central decorative detail.

Two round brass fasteners punctuate each shade near its upper and lower edges. Behind the glass, a tall curved brass backplate and short projecting supports provide a warm counterpoint to the cool material.

When illuminated, the patterned shades glow warmly while the clear outer glass catches light along its curves and edges. Flanking a mirror, framing a doorway, or installed along a hallway, the pair introduces both atmosphere and a distinct vertical accent.
