Paolo De Poli was an acclaimed Italian artist and designer known for his exceptional skill in working with enamels and metals. These wall sconces showcase his mastery of the craft and his ability to create captivating and unique pieces of functional art. The sconces feature a combination of materials, including plexiglass, hand-painted copper, and brass. Plexiglass, a type of acrylic glass, was a cutting-edge material during the mid-century modern period, prized for its transparency, durability, and versatility. It allowed designers to create sleek and contemporary shapes that embodied the spirit of the time.
The central element of the sconces is the hand-painted copper surface. De Poli's expertise in enamel work is evident in the exquisite hand-painted designs on the copper. The designs reflect De Poli's artistic vision and creativity. The hand-painted copper adds an element of artistic flair and individuality to each sconce, as the handcrafted nature ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike.
To complement the hand-painted copper, brass accents are incorporated into the sconces' design. Brass was a popular metal choice during the mid-century modern period due to its warm golden hue and ability to age gracefully. The brass elements might serve as connectors or decorative details, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the sconces.
The combination of materials, handcrafted details, and artistic vision exemplifies the sophistication and elegance of mid-century modern design. These wall sconces by Paolo De Poli have been prized for their timeless beauty and the craftsmanship that reflects the innovative spirit of the Sixties in Italy. Today, they continue to be cherished as collector's items and valuable examples of mid-century modern design history.
