Description
Pair of 1950s Conical Red Metal & Brass Sconces by Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce
Executed in red painted aluminum and brass. Double ball jointed arm allows flexible shade adjustments and multiple configurations. The simplicity of Sarfatti's design and the sculptural shaping of the materials make for an incredibly refined example of this lighting master's influential approach, circa 1950s, Italy. Unmarked.
Price is for the pair.
Professionally rewired for US electrical and for mounting over standard US j-box. Accommodates 1x 60W equivalent standard candelabra base (e12) LED bulb (not included). UL listed.
Ref: Romanelli & Severi "Gino Sarfatti: 1938-1973, selected works" p. p. 388. No manufacturer's stamp or sticker present.
Some age appropriate scuffs, dings, nicks, patina, and wear as largely shown and noted only for accuracy. Please note that only one representative example is featured in the listing photos, but both lamps in similarly good condition and present well as a pair. Additional photos available upon request.
