Standing 30 inches tall, each sconce rises in a long, tapered composition of ivory-painted metal and cut glass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated proportions give the pair a strong vertical rhythm, while the open construction allows light to travel outward and cast shifting shadows across the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lantern-like cages are formed from slender metal elements surrounding faceted glass diffusers, creating a layered interplay between structure, reflection, and illumination. Small pointed details at the crown add a decorative quality, while the carved and tapered metal stems below lend the sconces the character of antique architectural fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ivory finish softens the metal, allowing the cut glass to become the focal point once illuminated. At 30 inches tall, their scale is central to the design. Hung together, they frame a doorway, flank a console, or extend vertically along a tall wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBruno Chiarini\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eActive in Milan during the 1950s and early 1960s, Bruno Chiarini was an Italian lighting manufacturer during the period of experimentation and growth in modern Italian design. Working as a producer rather than a designer, Chiarini specialized in finely crafted lighting defined by elegant combinations of brass and glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis fixtures balance clean, architectural forms with warm materials and softly diffused light, capturing the refined yet expressive character of mid-century Italian lighting. Today, Chiarini’s work is admired for its understated elegance, thoughtful proportions, and enduring materiality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53001494298935,"sku":null,"price":4600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/IjbOwMKJN1rBVK4kFP7RLNCf-XcLmgUuRbCTNcsni2k.jpg?v=1790027166","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/pair-of-italian-glass-lantern-sconces-attributed-to-bruno-chiarini-1940s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
