Description

A charming and theatrical pair of vintage Italian bedside lights from the 1950s, each combining the elegance of a traditional candleholder form with a curved screen-style glass diffuser handpainted in rich blue and gold. The decorative finger holder detail adds a refined, almost jewellery-like quality — these are objects as much to be admired as to be used.

When illuminated, the handpainted glass casts a warm, richly coloured glow — intimate and flattering, perfectly suited to bedside tables, shelves, or romantic accent lighting in any interior that appreciates Italian decorative craft. A refined example of 1950s Italian ornamental lighting, where craftsmanship, ornament, and functionality are inseparable.

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.
