AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Spectacular pair of vintage ITRE wall sconces, Made in Italy, crafted with large Murano glass discs and attributed to the design of Carlo Nason.
Their strongly Space Age look, with the large circular glass disc decorated by a yellow-amber spiral and the dome-shaped central element, immediately evokes the shape of a flying saucer, a designation with which lamps of this type are often identified in vintage design collecting.
The effect is particularly dramatic: the glass creates a concentric optical movement while the central gilded surface reflects the surroundings, giving the sconces a futuristic character typical of Italian design in the seventies.
Both pieces retain the original labels “ITRE Made in Italy” and “Vetri Murano,” an important element for documenting production and provenance.
A true Italian Space Age pair, very decorative even when off and particularly interesting because it is preserved complete and matched.
Normal signs of age present, scratches and oxidation on the metal parts, visible in the photographs. Glass appears intact. Electrical system to be checked before use.
