Pair of Vintage Italian Convex Frosted Glass Wall Sconces – c.1970s

An elegant pair of vintage Italian wall sconces dating to the 1970s, featuring beautifully sculpted convex glass shades with a sophisticated combination of frosted and clear glass.

Each sconce showcases a distinctive elongated oval silhouette, with a gently curved glass panel that projects gracefully from the wall. The central frosted glass section softly diffuses the light, creating a warm, atmospheric glow, while the surrounding clear glass border adds depth, transparency and a refined architectural quality.

The glass is secured by a minimalist metal fitting, featuring two exposed decorative screws that complement the clean geometric lines of the design. A discreet rectangular wall bracket completes the composition, allowing the sculptural glass to remain the focal point.

The contrast between the smooth, polished edges and softly textured frosted centre creates a beautiful interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the understated elegance of Italian mid-century design.

With their timeless proportions and refined materiality, these sconces work beautifully as a pair flanking a mirror, doorway or fireplace, or positioned along a hallway to provide soft ambient lighting.

A sophisticated example of vintage Italian lighting, combining sculptural simplicity with the enduring appeal of glass craftsmanship.

Please note while the sconces are in good condition, any marks, scratches are signs of authenticity.
