Rare Italian Flush Mounts, 1940s, Sculpted Glass and Brass
Description: Rare pair of Italian flush mounts from the 1940s with hand-sculpted textured glass diffusers. A minimalist patinated brass backplate holds a large, thick glass body with a very heavy texture which was manually applied – as if the creator used a tool to stir around in the yet liquid glass in order to create the texture. Each fixture has two original brass and ceramic E27 sockets with new wiring.
