ITRE – Made in Italy - Wall sconce (2) - Flying Saucers - Murano glass, metal, gold/brass finish - Carlo Nason (attrib.) for ITRE – Pair of

Spectacular pair of vintage ITRE wall sconces, Made in Italy, crafted with large Murano glass discs and attributed to Carlo Nason's design.

Their strongly Space Age appearance, with the large circular glass disc decorated by a yellow-amber spiral and the domed and reflective central element, immediately evokes the shape of a flying saucer, a designation by 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 golden surface reflects the surroundings, giving the sconces a futuristic character typical of Italian design of 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 especially interesting because it is kept complete and paired.

Normal signs of time, scratches and oxidations on the metal parts, visible in the photographs. Glass appears to be intact. Electrical system to be checked before use.
