1950s Gino Sarfatti Model #10 sconce for Arteluce in green.
Executed in painted aluminum and custom fabricated period-styled brass backplates designed to mount over a standard American j-box for hardwiring. Ball jointed arm allows flexible shade adjustments and multiple configurations.
Originally designed between 1937-1941, the simplicity of Sarfatti's iconic Model #10 "detto Calla" or "Lily" shade design with its sculptural shaping of the materials make for an incredibly refined example of the lighting master's incomparable style. Salvaged from a midcentury building in Italy slated for demolition, these were originally configured in multi-shade half-rings that were mounted around pillars.
Professionally repainted black, red, or white versions also available in separate listings. Contact us for additional photos.
