Couple of 1970s Murano Glass and Chromed Metal Appliques
About the Item
This is a rare pair of anonymous yet very fascinating wall sconces from the 1970s. Crafted in chromed metal and corrugated Murano glass, each lamp holds three transparent glass discs with included bubbles. The light effect is very peculiar, thanks to the metal sheet serving as a screen and the light diffused by the three glass elements.
They have a marked mechanical appearance, even an essentiality, as they are defined by a simple sheet of metal bent to work as a screen. But the additional Murano glass discs add an unexpected twist and elevate the simple piece of metal to the role of frame for a mesmerizing sculpture. The bubble-inlayed Murano discs react to light by brightening up and emitting a very strong light, and at the same time reveal all their beauty to the eye of the beholder.
The lamps have been professionally rewired and the light bulbs changed. They are faithful to the original appearance and in full working order.

- Vintage 1960s Italian Floor Lamp, Mazzega Style, Murano Glass and Chromed MetalBy MazzegaLocated in Milano, ITOffered for sale is a vintage floor lamp, made in Italy likely at the beginning of the 1960s. It has a self-standing structure in chromed metal and three large, thick Murano glass panels - each measuring 35cm in width and 65 in height - serving as lampshades. Said glass panels are amazing, and resemble the texture of an ice cube: the surface is smooth but irregular, and the glass itself ranges from clear to opaline white. They are preserved in flawless conditions, and are still shiny after all these years. The piece is lit by eight E14 light bulbs, and is in perfect working conditions. The wiring and plug are original, and have been checked by a certified electrician to ensure a safe use...Category

- Vintage Space Age Wall/Ceiling Lamp, Italian Design, Chrome Metal BladesLocated in Milano, ITThe Space Age Era, or Atomic Age, has been a very prolific couple of decades for design worldwide. Italy was no exceptions, with designers the likes of Joe Colombo, Goffredo Reggiani and Anna Castelli Ferrieri creating some timeless icons of which many are still produced to these days. But it wasn't all about resounding names: also lesser known designers created interesting pieces, often with a very personal and recognisable style. Amongst these certainly stands out Enrico Tronconi, whose area of interest was lighting design: he created several different pieces ranging from ceiling lamps and sconces to floor and table lamps. Most of them feature metal blades that resemble rocket propellers or air-cooled car engines. The present sconce, measuring 30cm in diameter, has indeed two wide blades painted in ochre and three smaller ones highlighted by a chrome coating. It is preserved in good conditions and only has minor signs of use; it's a stunning piece both when lit and when off. It is hardwired (220V standard) and has recently been rewired by a certified electrician. For more vintage Italian furniture...Category
