AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Murano: two-armed wall sconces.
Made by a Murano master in the 1980s with transparent glass and rich inclusions of gold leaf. Beautiful golden brightness due to the abundance of gold included in the glass, according to the traditional Murano technique.
Very rich in details. It was in the workshop of a Murano furnace that closed in the early 2000s, but was made much earlier.
It consists of two arms with upward-facing gilded cups; along the arms are threaded beautiful garlands with a pendant; 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: 42 cm. Width: 35 cm. Depth: 25 cm.
Electrical system working, accommodates E14 bulbs.
It will be shipped disassembled, for packaging safety; the last photos show mounting details.
Shipping only to European Union member 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.
