This refined pair of obelisk-shaped glass lamps (40 × 8 × 8 cm, bases only) comes from Fulvio Bianconi’s distinguished Con fiamma series for Venini, a sculptural exploration of verticality and internal movement. Each piece is individually hand-blown, featuring clear Murano glass infused with rising white “flame” inclusions, giving the works their characteristic sense of upward energy. Both bases are signed “Venini Italia,” confirming their authenticity. The lamps retain their original fabric shades, contributing to their warm, mid-century presence. Originally created as glass obelisks, this pair underwent an early, period-appropriate conversion into table lamps—a known custom practice for Venini collectors. They use standard E27 bulbs and are fitted with European wiring (rewiring available on request).

Condition is excellent, with clean glass surfaces, crisp inclusions, and lightly patinated original shades.
