Unlike many attributed examples circulating today, this pair stands out for its authenticity and coherence — in design, material, and patina. Every detail reflects the unmistakable hand and poetic modernism of Buzzi: from the sinuous, fluted glass diffusers — shaped like stylized feathers or abstracted leaves — to the exquisitely cast brass mounts, which still retain their deep, time-earned oxidation. The hand-blown Murano glass features a delicate spiral texture that catches the light even when off. Each sculptural stem rests lightly in the metal collar of the mount, without screws or mechanical tension — just gravity and geometry. The mount itself is a small jewel: cast in solid brass with shell-like rosettes and a rich, untouched surface finish that was intentionally preserved to retain its original presence. These sconces have not been restored or modified; they are presented in fully original condition. Upon request, wiring can be replaced for European standards, although the pieces are currently wired to preserve historical integrity. A museum-worthy pair, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of early 20th-century Italian design. Condition: Excellent original condition. No damage to glass. Brass mounts unpolished, as found.
