Description from the seller

Rare and elegant set consisting of three wall lamps made of opalescent Murano glass, with the original VM 022 label, crafted in Italy in the second half of the 20th century, following the well-established tradition of Murano furnaces.

The diffusers, made of blown opal glass, feature a soft, milky surface designed to ensure an even and non-glare diffusion of light, a characteristic typical of 20th-century Murano decorative lighting. The simple yet refined shape alludes to a sober and elegant production, intended for bourgeois and formal environments.

A particularly interesting element from a historical and material perspective is the presence of spherical brass studs used to secure the glass to the structure. These elements, in addition to their technical function, play an important aesthetic role, creating a refined chromatic contrast between the warm reflection of the metal and the opalescent glass.
Condition
The lamps are in excellent condition, free of cracks or breaks. The structure and the brass fittings are original and display a patina consistent with their age, which enhances their historical authenticity.

A collection of great charm, ideal for vintage lighting collectors, enthusiasts of Italian design of the twentieth century, or for those looking to add an authentic, high-quality handcrafted element to a contemporary environment.

Careful packaging and prompt shipping.
