Painted Brass Scalloped Tulip Twin Arm Wall Lights

A pair of Italian wall sconces from the 1950s, each with dual brass arms rising to scalloped, tulip-shaped shades. The arms are symmetrical and finished with painted brass detailing, and the scalloped shades soften the light as it falls. As a pair they read as balanced and architectural on the wall.

The sconces come from Italy in the 1950s, a period when Italian lighting makers were turning brass and metalwork to graceful, sculptural forms. Rather than a single named workshop, they belong to that broader mid-century Italian tradition of paired decorative wall lighting, where craftsmanship and symmetry mattered as much as the light itself.

The construction shows the period's hand. The brass arms are shaped and matched for symmetry, and the tulip shades are scalloped to catch and diffuse the light rather than throw it flat. The painted brass detailing has worn to an original patina, with finish variations across the pair that mark them as genuinely vintage. Each is offered as is, or at a refurbished price if you would prefer them restored.

The pair suit a bedroom flanking a headboard, a mirror, or an accent wall, and work in a living room or hallway where matched lighting brings balance. They settle comfortably into a mid-century, eclectic, or transitional Australian interior. Both are in very good-excellent vintage condition. Given their age, we recommend professional installation for secure mounting and electrical compliance with local standards.
