A sophisticated pair of contemporary Venetian wall sconces distinguished by their beautifully restrained silhouette and subtle interplay of glass, light and brass.
Each sconce features an elongated, gently curved smoked taupe glass panel with softly rounded ends and a delicately textured surface. The glass acts as both a sculptural element and a diffuser, producing a warm atmospheric glow from the concealed light sources above and below.
Two polished brass fittings punctuate the center of each panel, providing an elegant contrast to the muted coloration of the glass and adding a discreet jewel-like detail to the otherwise minimalist composition.
With their slender proportions and softly diffused illumination, these sconces bridge the tradition of Venetian decorative glass with a distinctly contemporary architectural sensibility. Particularly effective flanking a mirror, artwork or console, or installed rhythmically along a hallway.
Contemporary Venetian production. Excellent condition.
