Textured Murano glass wall sconces, Italy, 1970s

This pair of wall sconces from the 1970s features a Murano glass plate with a translucent frosted texture, enlivened with inclusions that diffuse the light softly and irregularly. The white translucent cast-glass plate is held by a central lucite knob on a gilt steel frame.

The glass’s organic relief creates a dense, nuanced lighting effect. These glass pieces come from the molded or textured glass productions developed in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s. When lit, the sconces cast a warm light that highlights the surface variations and inclusions within the material.

With their minimalist composition and the combination of translucent glass, lucite, and gilt metal, these sconces evoke certain Italian decorative lighting designs from the 1970s. They work equally well in a vintage or contemporary interior.

The light passes through the thickness of the Murano glass, which is filled with thousands of inclusions.

The glass plates are independent and easy to maintain.

This model can also be matched with the “Trio” versions in our catalog.
