Pair of Large Version “Gamma” Wall Sconces by Sergio Mazza for Artemide, 1960s

An exceptional pair of wall sconces from the iconic “Gamma” series, designed by Sergio Mazza for Artemide in the 1960s.

This is the largest and most desirable version of the model, measuring approximately 27 cm in diameter, 38 cm deep, and 20 cm high, offering a more substantial architectural presence than the smaller variants commonly encountered on the market.

The design perfectly reflects Sergio Mazza’s mastery of geometric form and material balance. Each fixture is composed of a large spherical diffuser in finely ribbed pressed glass, enclosed by a sculptural brushed nickel-plated brass structure that wraps elegantly around the globe, creating a striking interplay between transparency, texture, and metal.

When illuminated, the radial pattern embedded within the glass becomes particularly evident, diffusing light evenly while producing a soft, atmospheric glow. The substantial dimensions and balanced proportions allow these sconces to function not only as lighting fixtures but also as sculptural wall elements.

What makes this pair especially remarkable is its condition and provenance. These sconces come from a rare old stock acquisition and have never been installed or used. As shown in the photographs, they are still preserved in their original Artemide bags, an increasingly rare circumstance for lighting produced over half a century ago.

The brushed nickel-plated brass surfaces retain their original finish, while the pressed glass diffusers remain beautifully preserved. The overall presentation is exceptionally crisp, displaying the freshness and integrity normally associated with contemporary production rather than vintage pieces.

Designed by Sergio Mazza during Artemide’s formative years, the Gamma series represents one of the earliest expressions of the company’s commitment to combining technical innovation with refined Italian modernism. Today these models are increasingly sought after by collectors, architects, and design enthusiasts for their timeless aesthetic and versatility.

Presented in outstanding New Old Stock condition, complete with original Artemide packaging.

A rare opportunity to acquire an unused pair of the largest Gamma wall sconces, combining museum-quality condition with the enduring sophistication of one of the most influential designs of post-war Italian lighting.
