Pair of pear-shaped "Cocoon" wall sconces, resin and pine wood, Italy, 1970s

Beautiful pair of pear-shaped "cocoon" wall lights from Italy, 1970s. Each sconce features expertly hand-applied resin threads over a metal frame, creating the iconic cocoon effect—an innovative adaptation of vintage military camouflage technique into organic design. The sculptural forms cast a soft, textured glow. Fully functional with checked electrics; gold mounts have been changed. A striking mid-century organic statement piece. We specialise in vintage lighting, with particular expertise in rare mid-century cocoon wall lights, cocoon pendant lamps, and the iconic cocoon technique designs.
