Description
Pair vintage palm tree wall lights sconces, Sciolari style, crystal on gold plated gilt frames, 1970`s ca, Italian.
These vintage wall lights have been gently cleaned while respecting the aged patina. They are newly rewired & earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to install. New decorative Candle clear flame tip shaped light bulbs included. It is possible to use these sconces in other countries although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity. These lights can be use with a dimmer.
While these lights are not stamped or have any old labels attached, they have many of the features of the designs of Gaetano Sciolari: quality crystals on gold plated frame, complementary polished & matt finishes on a sleek Modernist design.
They are in the style of `Deconstructivism`. The component parts have been delineate and executed in different materials (textured brass, gold gilt & crystal) to accentuate this fragmentation. The result, part Minimalist part Cubist, is interesting, sophisticated & sculptural.
The combination of luxury materials, classical form, elegant proportions & sleek sculptural design make these wall lights suitable for a range of interiors such as Antique, Art Deco, Traditional, Hollywood Regency, or Contemporary.
At the centre of each frame there is a circular base in highly polished gold plated gilt metal.
From this base there is a trapezoid volume with two extending arms attached playfully in the shape of oversized rings. Tangent to the ring is the tubular column in a polished gold finish which leads to the lamp holder. Either side of the column the `wave-like` crystals in the shape of palm leaves insert, two either side of the column. They alternate creating movement. These quality crystals have an `optical` quality adding depth & reflections, and they have a good weight. There are 4 crystal shades per sconce for a total of 8 crystal shades.
The junctions of the rings and crystals to the columns are detailed with a textured & matt finish brutalist frame. At the bottom of the column is a finial with a similar textured matt finish. This combination of polished & matt finishes, typical of Sciolari`s designs creates different reflections & depth.
To fit the frames to the wall there are two holes on each round frame from which two brass decorative pegs screw to a removable grey metal bracket on the back. This metal bracket has 2 holes through which it is screwed to the wall.
Each wall light carries 2 standard small screw light bulbs (E14) up to 40 Watts. At present these lights are fitted & photographed with new decorative warm white dimmable Philips LED Candle clear flame tip shaped light bulbs of 25 Watts. These are included in the price. It would be possible to use any other (E14) Candle light bulbs for a different look, or to add clip-on lampshades.
This pair of sconces is in good vintage condition. All the original crystals are present and in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The frames are sound with no damages. The warm vintage patina has been preserved on the metal. The gilt finish is in good condition and uniform, with some age patina such as minor rubbing, light very subtle tiny marks in places. All the crystals are in very good condition with no chips or cracks. All in line with age & wear.
Additional dimensions:
The total dimensions with the lightbulbs on is: Height: 35.5 cm, Width: 35 cm, Depth: 19 cm.
The frame alone without the lightbulbs is: Height: 26 cm, Width: 35 cm, Depth: 19 cm.
The round base that attaches to the wall has a diameter of 11 cm.
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care with packing. For safe transport the shades will be wrapped separately in bubble wrap, foam and an outer layer of card. These will be stacked together. The frames will be wrapped similarly. Together these pieces would easily fit into a box with loose cushioning for secure shipping with a courier. We ship with reliable couriers (signed for, tracked & insured).

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
