Description from the seller
Pair of Murano artistic glass hanging lamps – Italy, 1960s–1970s
Elegant pair of Murano artistic glass pendant lamps, made in Italy between the 1960s and early 1970s, a period of great experimentation and refinement in Murano lighting design.
The lamps are hand-blown in transparent crystal glass with inclusions of white opaline glass, applied hot and then pulled and elongated during blowing, creating an organic and dynamic pattern within the glass mass.
This technique, known in catalogs as decoration with inclusions / spots, gives depth, movement, and uniqueness to each piece.
The glass is of considerable thickness, not thin, indicating high-quality artisanal craftsmanship. The slight variations between the two elements confirm the manual workmanship.
The pear-shaped / onion-shaped form, with a broad belly and a tapered neck, is typical of Murano pendant lamps intended for the international market during the mid-century period, often used individually or in pairs above tables, islands, or stairwells.
They complete the set.
High-quality chrome metal finishes with a beautiful patina consistent with the era.
Twisted white textile cord, adjustable and shorten-able.
Completely new electrical system, installed by a professional electrician, perfectly functioning and ready to use.
This type of craftsmanship and design was used by important Murano glass factories active during the period, such as Venini, Vistosi, Barovier & Toso, Seguso, mainly for decorative and export productions, without specific attribution.
Measurements (each lamp):
Glass height: 29 cm
Maximum diameter: 25 cm.
Upper diameter (neck): 5 cm
Lower opening diameter: 11.5 cm.
Cable length: up to 90 cm, adjustable.
Conditions
In excellent vintage condition.
Perfect glass, without cracks, chips, or defects.
metal with a good patina
Completely restored and operational electrical system.
Conclusion
A pair of decorative lamps with a strong visual impact, ideal for modern, mid-century, or contemporary interiors, combining Murano craftsmanship, timeless elegance, and quality construction.
