Exceptional pair of vintage Italian Murano glass wall sconces, commonly known as “Corteccia” or “Trunk” sconces, produced by Fabio Ltd. These sculptural wall lights feature thick, hand-worked Murano glass with a deeply textured surface that evokes the organic pattern of tree bark, a hallmark of classic Italian glassmaking.
The glass diffusers are paired with minimalist brushed brass wall mounts, creating a refined contrast between organic texture and clean architectural lines. When illuminated, the heavy Murano glass softly diffuses light, producing depth, shadow, and a warm ambient glow that enhances both modern and vintage interiors.
The vertical cylindrical form and pronounced surface relief give these sconces a strong sculptural presence, making them ideal as statement lighting in mid-century modern, Italian modern, Brutalist, or contemporary spaces. They work beautifully flanking mirrors, beds, corridors, or as accent lighting in architectural settings.
These examples are unlabeled, as commonly seen with period Murano lighting, but are consistent in material, construction, and design with documented Fabio Ltd production. The fixtures are solid, well-made, and visually striking.
