AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Murano: 2 wall sconces, each with two arms

Made by a Murano master in the 1970s/1980s with transparent glass and rich inclusions of gold leaf. They have an extraordinary golden luminosity due to the richness of the gold included in the glass, following the traditional Murano technique.

Very rich in detail. They were in the workshop of a Murano furnace that closed at the beginning of the 2000s, but made much earlier.

Each sconce consists of two arms with upward-facing gold cups; 3 low curved leaves and in the center a flower and two tall leaves.

All pieces are handmade and none is identical to another.

Complete. Height: 43 cm. Width: 35 cm. Depth: 26 cm.

Electrical system functioning, fitted with E14 lamps.
They will be shipped dismantled, for packing safety.
Shipping only to European Union countries, islands excluded.

Seller's Story

I mainly collect Murano chandeliers thanks to the collaboration with some companies that restore apartments and palaces in Venice. In this way, over time, I have recovered the chandeliers of elegant and often ancient houses in the lagoon and in the nearby areas. Murano glass has an incomparable charm: every piece, even the simplest, has a story hidden in its fragility and its iridescent light.
