Pair of model 2052 wall sconces, designed by Max Ingrand around 1960 for Fontana Arte. Each features a rectangular brass frame and a combination of three clear, beveled, and frosted glass panels.
Each sconce houses three internal bulbs whose light is beautifully diffused thanks to the different glass textures.
They exemplify the refined glass craftsmanship and modernist elegance that Eleg brought to Fontana Arte.
