These are two Mid-Century Modern wall sconces from the 1950s, designed in the Stilnovo style, an Italian manufacturer known for its sleek, modern aesthetics and innovative use of materials. Each sconce features two elongated, conical glass shades with a matte white finish, tapering slightly at both ends. The glass shades are mounted vertically, evoking a streamlined, minimalist look typical of the mid-century period. The sconces have a brass structure that connects the shades to the wall, with each sconce arranged symmetrically in an “V” shape. The brass arms curve outward to hold the glass shades in a balanced yet dynamic design, giving a sense of movement and elegance. At the base of each glass shade, there is a black fitting, which adds contrast and gives the pieces a refined, modern edge. These sconces embody the sophisticated simplicity of Mid-Century Modern design, making them ideal for adding a vintage yet timeless touch to any interior, especially in a living room, hallway, or entryway. They are in good overall condition and in working order.
