Vintage Italian “Pala” Wall Scones by Danilo & Corrado Aroldi for Luci

Danilo and Corrado Aroldi “Pala” or “Shovel” wall/table lamps in original taupe/sand-tone lacquered metal and chrome.
Danilo and Corrado Aroldi, known for their designs for Stilnovo and later collaborations with Cassina, Flos, Artemide and Alessi, started their eponymous firm, Studio Danilo and Corrado Aroldi, in the 1960s.
These 1970s examples were designed for Luci, and versions of this model, 490, were available in table, clip, and wall sconce forms.
Very unique design whose bulbous shade with chromed screen diffuser and round base resembles a vintage microphone.
These examples can be used as either table lamps or wall sconces with different configuration options. The orientation of the chromed metal supports can be manually changed by sliding off the metal shades and moving the brackets to the preferred position (there are only a few adjustment options, as shown).
Excellent, vintage condition with only light lacquer wear present, as shown.
Original Italian sockets, wiring, and plug (plug will be changed for US use, unless otherwise requested).
