Stunning Pair of Murano Glass Wall Sconces / Wall Lights by Leucos, Italy, 1980s
Located in Lisse, NL
Excellent condition Leucos Murano glass sconces with blue rim and V-shaped mounts. A remarkable pair of sculptural wall lights by Leucos, produced in Italy during the 1980s. These pieces are exemplary of Italian craftsmanship and design, made from hand-blown Murano glass — with a smooth opaline center framed by a beautifully curved turquoise-blue rim. Two small decorative glass dots near the top add a playful touch of artisanal detail. The glass shades are mounted on sharply angled, black V-shaped metal bases that provide a bold architectural contrast to the softness of the glass. Behind each bulb lies a hammered reflector surface that helps diffuse the light evenly. When lit, these sconces produce a warm, atmospheric glow with a delicate blue halo cast onto the wall — a classic Murano lighting effect that transforms the space with elegance and subtle drama. Thanks to the original wall brackets (inside) they are easy to mount and these fine specimens could not be in a better condition. They are wired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and our price for this pair includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days. Maximum width x height x depth: 12.1 x 10.7 x 3.7 inches. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again). To explore all our 1000+ listings, simply click the button labeled 'View All From Seller’.

Murano Glass Chandeliers, Murano Glass Vases and Other Decorative Objects and Furniture for Sale

The collection of antique and vintage Murano glass decorative objects and other Murano glass furniture on 1stDibs includes authentic Murano glass vases, bottles, bowls, sculptures and more.  

These objects are made of glass that is named for the Venetian island of Murano, where glassmaking has been practiced for centuries, using a variety of artisanal processes. Murano glass is identifiable by its richly layered colors and characteristic gold or silver flecks inside the glass. 

Every vintage Murano glass decorative object is unique. Authentic Murano glass often has small imperfections and irregular shapes due to the freeform creation process. This glass introduces dazzling pops of colors and provocative forms to your dining table, and mid-century Murano glass is particularly sought after by today’s collectors.  

One of the earliest Venetian glass furnaces is believed to have been established as far back as the 8th century. While Murano glass is traditionally known for being blown glass, there are also Murano glass beads and mosaics, and the art of Venetian glassblowing has seen a range of different techniques evolve over the course of its long history. These techniques include calcedonio, millefiori and more, and enameling and gilding are also practiced at the furnaces. The celebrated filigrana technique is as old as Renaissance-era Italy, with origins in the 16th century.

This striking chandelier was created using the rigadin technique, which involves blowing the glass into a special bronze mold with grooves that leave an imprint on its molten surface, resulting in either decorative swirls or a ribbed effect.

There are many Murano glassmakers who have gained renown all over the world. 

Ercole Barovier left an indelible mark on the world of Italian modernist glassmaking, for example — his vibrant use of color and exploration of innovative techniques yielded glass vases, chandeliers and other lighting and decorative objects that stand out in any interior many decades later. Barovier’s manufactory was eventually renamed Barovier & Toso, a name under which the company still operates today

Archimede Seguso, whose company was later renamed Seguso Vetri D’Arte, redefined a 650-year family history of Murano glass-making with brilliance and novel techniques, elevating him to an exemplar for the maestros of his time as well as for future generations of glassmakers. 

Founded in 1921 by Milanese lawyer Paolo Venini and antiques dealer Giacomo Cappellin, Venini & Co. played an important role in pairing forward-thinking modernist designers with skilled glassblowers. In Venini’s early years, the firm was led by visionary art directors Napoleone Martinuzzi and Vittorio Zecchin, and would eventually collaborate with Gio Ponti, Massimo Vignelli and Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala. ​​In 1925, Venini earned the Grand Prix at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts — the design fair that introduced the Art Deco style to the world. 

The story of Salviati glass, which supported the revival of Venice’s flagging Murano glass industry in the 19th century, began with Vicenza-born lawyer and entrepreneur Antonio Salviati whose love of Murano glass art and mosaics inspired him to establish his own mosaic and glass manufacturing firm.
