These incredibly elegant sconces were produced in italy during the late 1940s and are attributed to the mastery of barovier. Two pairs available, all in fabulous condition with no chips or cracks. These highly decorative lights feature mouth-blown murano glass shades in a charming and unique straw tone, shaped like flowers, with vertical ribbing and elegant scalloped edges that beautifully diffuse the light. The shades are mounted on stepped solid brass arms and backplates, a distinctive element of barovier’s refined early mid-century aesthetic. The quality of the glass is outstanding, a testament to the mastery of the murano artisans of the time. When lit, the glass bowls emit a warm, atmospheric glow, enhancing the rich golden tone and the delicate texture of the glass. The sconces have been rewired and tested for use in the us, uk, and eu, and are fitted with standard e14 sockets. The brass has a beautiful warm golden patina that has been left unpolished to preserve its timeless charm and historical value. A standout set and a unique opportunity to add character and uniqueness to any deco, mid-century, or contemporary interior project.
