Beautiful and rare pair of wall sconces designed by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte, model 2443.
These are made of a metal structure, a white glass diffuser hiding the four sources of light and two slabs of frosted glass, typical of the designer's work, with a free shape opening in the center. The sconces are finished with two brass decorative attaches.
