Description

A charming pair of vintage Italian tole wall sconces from the 1950s, each adorned with delicate hand-applied porcelain roses set against a green-painted metal frame. The soft, curved forms and floral ceramic detailing evoke the romantic garden aesthetic of mid-century Italian decorative lighting — warm, intimate, and full of character.

Designed with a single light point each, these sconces cast a gentle ambient glow, making them ideal for bedrooms, hallways, or cosy interiors inspired by cottage, shabby chic, or Mediterranean styles. Their naturally aged finish only deepens their authentic vintage appeal.

Bulb & Plug Compatibility

All pieces use standard Edison screw fittings: E27 (large, most pendants and sconces) or E14 (small, table lamps and multi-arm chandeliers). A handful of pieces use halogen — noted in the listing. E27 and E26 are interchangeable with a simple ring adapter.

These are straightforward socket circuits with no built-in electronics, so they're fully voltage-agnostic — just fit a bulb rated for your local voltage (110V or 220V) and it works.

Plug-in lamps: you'll need a standard EU-to-local plug adapter (EU Type C/F to US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I, etc.). No voltage converter required.
