About the Item
Mid-Century Modern vintage gold and white three ( 3 ) sconces or wall lights from metal with gilded details and solid brass masks, Italy 1940s.
The rare and beautiful hand made sconces were designed in Italy 1940s.
The sconces or wall lights made from metal and show repainted and gilded details while each sconce features two E 14 sockets.
Each sconce or wall lighting has two slightly curved arms with original brass masks and a wonderful decoration as a ribbon with gilded edges.
We bought these gorgeous sconces from a private source, who told us, that these sconces illuminated a theater in Milano.
In Commedia dell´arte the masks show the opposites like good and bad or comedy and tragic.
Commedia is a form of theatre characterized by masked types which started in Italy in the 16th century.
The characters of the Commedia dell´arte usually represent fixed social types and characters, like Arlecchino or Colombina.
In the 20th century commedia dell´arte was rediscovered and revitalized.
These stunning sconces are in best overall vintage condition, while the surface is refinished.
The sconces or wall lights work perfect with Mid-Century Modern interior as well as Contemporary interior and Hollywood Regency.

- Gio Ponti for Arredoluce, Italian Mid-Century Modern Brass Applique, 1957By Arredoluce, Gio PontiLocated in Milan, ITGio Ponti, Italian Mid-Century Modern Brass Applique, 1957 A rare and beautiful example of Gio Ponti's lightworks, this rectangular applique geometrically splits and analogically dims the sources, hiding the bulbs behind five separated elements, each one with a different shape and height. Giovanni “Gio” Ponti, (Milan, November 18, 1891 - Milan, September 16, 1979), is one of the Italian masters of architecture. He was also a designer and essayist and one of the most important of the twentieth century. Other than the great architectural works which carry his unmistakable signature, he created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. This is demonstrated in his three Milanese houses which were fully furnished in the "Ponti" style. The houses in via Randaccio, 1925, Casa Laporte in via Brin, 1926 and the last in via Dezza, in 1957 is an "expression" of his home design ideas. Gio Ponti was an Italian promoter of industrial design and introduced the idea of interior furnishing ranges produced as being a "sophisticated," economic, "democratic" and modern. Arredoluce was a small-scale lighting manufacturer founded by Angelo Lelli in postwar Italy, a hotbed of inventive industrial design. The company produced lamps and fixtures by several significant Italian designers, including brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni, whose Tubino desk lamp, released by Arredoluce in 1949, typified their ability to reduce designs to their most essential while maintaining sculptural appeal; made to accommodate a small fluorescent tube recently arrived on the Italian market, the lamp itself is only slightly larger than its bulb. Arredoluce would also produce lighting by Ettore Sottsass, though the company’s best-known designs, variations on a floor lamp with a slender column, pivoting arms that allowed for maximum flexibility of use, and enameled metal conical shades, is attributed to Lelli. Ponti's designs for Arredoluce often featured clean lines, geometric shapes, and a combination of traditional and modern elements. His lighting fixtures were known for their functional yet aesthetically pleasing designs. Some of his notable works for Arredoluce include the "Luminator" floor lamp, the "Bilia" table lamp, and the "Mod 607...Category
