AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No Reserve
Two rare wall sconces in natural alabaster.
These wall sconces in natural alabaster feature a fully Art Deco / 1980s-1990s revival design, characterized by a fan-shaped or shell-shaped profile with overlapping stepped frills/grooves.
Producer: Made in Italy by Victoria s.r.l. (as stated on the original label).
Material: Carved and turned alabaster shade, semitransparent stone noted for diffusing a warm and soft light that highlights the natural veining.
Dimensions: Height 16.5 cm. Width 33 cm. Depth 11 cm.
Electrical: Aluminum rear mounting with bulb socket and wall attachment.
Style and Period
Although produced in the 1980s/1990s, the design revisits the classic forms of 1930s Art Deco, a trend that experienced a strong revival in Italian interior design between the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The original halogen bulbs, very common in the 1980s and 1990s for providing indirect and powerful uplighting, can be replaced with LED lamps.
Shipping only to European Union countries, excluding islands.
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.
