Description
Gaetano Sciolari was an influential Italian designer known for his forward-thinking lighting creations, particularly in the mid-20th century. Stilnovo, founded in 1946, was a leading force in lighting design, partnering with innovators like Sciolari to produce modern, functional pieces that played a crucial role in shaping the direction of Italian design.
Design
This wall light from 1950 is a prime example of Sciolari’s ability to merge function and aesthetics. The lamp with model 2601 features a brass arm that is adjustable, allowing users to modify the positioning of the lamp depending on the need. The arm is mounted on the wall using a simple yet effective suspension system, also crafted from brass, which has aged over time, developing a characteristic patina. This worn surface not only highlights the lamp's history but also adds character and depth to the piece. Hanging from the arm is a counterweight that helps stabilize the lamp and features a built-in light switch for ease of use.
The lamp itself consists of a conical opaline glass body, creating a soft and diffused light when illuminated. Surrounding the glass is a cylindrical red shade, giving the lamp a bold, striking appearance. The interior of the shade bears the Stilnovo label. Three slender brass bars delicately connect the red shade to the opaline glass, reinforcing the minimalist yet sturdy design of the piece.In summary, this wall light beautifully encapsulates Sciolari's vision of creating pieces that are both functional and visually engaging. The patina from years of use gives it added appeal, and the careful combination of materials highlights why Sciolari and Stilnovo remain key figures in mid-century Italian lighting design. This lamp has an E27 lamp socket and the bar or rod can be extended with forty centimeters.
Condition
The condition is good with signs of age and usage such as small marks on the shade and some discolorations. The cord can be replaced by for instance a fabric round cord that fits neatly into the pulleys attached to the suspension system.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
