These exquisite wall sconces, hand-forged and gilded in the 1950s by Pier Luigi Colli, are a beautiful example of the designer’s poetic approach to decorative ironwork. Shaped as stylized four-leaf clovers, they combine playful symbolism with exceptional craftsmanship. The iron structure is not only forged by hand but also richly textured with the subtle, dotted surface that is characteristic of many of Colli’s finest iron designs. This artisanal detailing gives the metal an almost tactile, jewel-like quality that enhances the depth of the gilding.
The result is a pair of sconces that feel at once whimsical and sophisticated, radiating the charm and elegance that define Colli’s work. Perfect for adding a touch of Italian mid-century artistry to an entryway, bedroom, or any space that calls for a distinctive decorative statement, these pieces are both rare and highly collectible.
