Description from the seller

Rare and impressive pair of large wall lamps (appliques), produced by the prestigious Murano glassworks Mazzega in the 1970s. This lot stands out for its generous size and the extraordinary quality of the glass, typical of the most luxurious commissions of the era.

Artistic Details:
Sculptural Glass: Each applique is made of hand-blown Murano glass elements in a warm, intense amber hue. The surface is wavy and organic (often described as "ice" or "pulegoso"), which fragments the light, creating scenic effects on the walls.

Large Format: Unlike standard models, these appliques boast substantial dimensions, making them suitable for grand living rooms, representative entrances, or sought-after interior design projects.

Mounting: The supporting structure is original metal, designed to safely support the weight of the artistic glass and to allow optimal light diffusion.

Condition:
The wall lamps are in excellent vintage condition.

Glass: Intact, free from cracks or chips. The transparency and amber color are vivid and bright.

Structure: Solid, with slight signs of age in keeping with its originality.

Operation: Electrical system present (a technical check is always recommended before wall mounting).

Shipping
Shipping at the buyer’s expense, with costs to be determined based on the destination where there is no trusted courier available.

The objects will be carefully packed and will be ready for pickup by the courier.
