Pair of Italian Opaline Glass + Brass Sconces, 1950s
A pair of Italian opaline glass and brass sconces from the 1950s, composed around twin columns of white glass and a slender framework of lines and circles.
Each sconce holds two tall cylindrical shades, their open tops and smooth surfaces giving the composition a clear vertical rhythm. Brass cups support the glass from below, while fine metal rings encircle the shades near their midpoint, connecting them to the central stem without obscuring their form.
Behind the glass, a curved brass backplate catches and reflects light. A gently bowed lower arm extends beneath both shades, its rounded ends finishing the silhouette. The central rod rises above the glass to an open circular finial, with a small pointed tip projecting into the ring.
Against this textured metal, the milky glass appears especially calm. When illuminated, the shades diffuse the bulbs into a warm glow, bringing depth to the brass and a soft wash of light to the surrounding wall.
