Mid Century Aventurine Filigrana Murano Table Lamp attributed to Dino Martens
About the Item
This midcentury Murano glass table lamp is crafted in the style of renowned glassmaker Dino Martens for Aureliano Toso. It features a tiered geometric polished brass base supporting a slender, columnar body made of hand-blown glass. The glass is decorated with thin diagonal aventurine and white ribbon striping, known as filigrana. Aventurine is a technique involving surface effects with gold flecks, originating in the 15th century. Filigrana, used since the 16th century, involves applying transparent colorless glass canna with a colored glass core.
Dino Martens, born in Venice, attended the Accademia di Belle Arti and initially worked as a painter. In the 1920s, he moved to Murano and briefly worked as a decorator for the glass factory S.A.L.I.R. He later became the artistic director of Aureliano Toso, a Murano glasshouse founded in 1938. Martens worked there from 1939 to 1963.
This lamp exemplifies the traditional glassmaking techniques of Murano, combining historical craftsmanship with functional design.
