About the Item

An unusual vintage Italian floor lamp with three lights attributable to Carlo Nason. Two beautiful looped structures support four hand blown Murano glass shades made by Mazzega, dating to the 1970s. Each diffuser is hand crafted in clear glass with a hint of orange and green. The shaped diffusers are a testament to the maestro’s wonderful skill and artistry. The origins of the Mazzega glassworks date back to 1929, when Romano Mazzega set up a small company in Murano bearing his name. The factory produced high quality pieces, but mostly inspired by the work of its competitors. In 1937, Romano Mazzega was sold to Aureliano Toso, who renamed it Vetri Decorativi Rag. Aureliano Toso. The following year, Romano Mazzega opened a new glassworks, Fratelli Mazzega, in partnership with his brother Gino and sister Maria. The company was renamed I.V.R. (Industrie Vetrarie Riunite) Mazzega, around 1950. The post-war period offered Mazzega the opportunity to develop the Degli Angeli, a cooperative of artists founded in 1950 in Murano: Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Jean Coartistique considerable with the execution entrusted to the prestigious master Ermanno Nason of a series of creations according to the projects of some of the most famous contemporary artists solicited by the Fucinacteau or Georges Braque. At the same time, it welcomes independent designers such as Luigi Scarpa Croce, Aldo Bergamini, Carlo Scarpa and Renzo Burchiellaro. From 1958 onwards, the company I.V.R. Mazzega had the painter Gianfranco Purisiol as its artistic director. During his four years at Mazzega, he developed a highly original glass art in which the fantastic variety of shapes fully integrates and enhances the successful characteristics of the company's style: luminous colours, softly diffused, in the intimacy of a magnificent crystal. This glassworks ceased all activity in 1983. CONDITION In Great Condition - Wear expected with age. Please refer to photographs.
