  • Description
    A Pair of Murano Glass and Brass Wall Sconces, Barovier Manufacture, 1930s

    The Venetian island of Murano has long been synonymous with the finest glassmaking. For centuries, its artisans have created exquisite objects of art and utility, admired and coveted worldwide. The inherent qualities of glass—its color, transparency, and ethereal nature—inevitably evoke a sense of luminosity. When combined with the unparalleled craftsmanship of Murano glass, the result is lighting fixtures of exceptional prestige. This has been true since long before the advent of electricity. Despite their fragility, Murano glass chandeliers and sconces, carefully packed in straw-lined wooden crates, traveled across Europe to illuminate the grandest of homes.

    In the 20th century, as electricity became ubiquitous, Murano glass continued to captivate. Renowned manufacturers like Barovier & Toso embraced the new era, pioneering innovative designs while staying true to centuries-old traditions. Barovier, in particular, boasts a remarkable heritage spanning six centuries.

    This pair of wall sconces is distinguished by its striking decorative leaf, a classic motif that serves as the focal point of the design. The leaf is crafted from high-quality Murano glass and mounted on a finely wrought brass frame with a subtle textured finish. The curved Murano glass diffuser provides a timeless backdrop for the leaf and casts a warm, inviting glow when illuminated.
