Each sconce features a sculptural lattimo (white glass) arm, elegantly formed and applied with stylized floral elements, subtly accented with gilt highlighting. The arms extend from geometric cast brass backplates, creating a striking interplay between soft organic form and architectural structure.

The original ribbed Murano glass shades are infused with warm gold inclusions, producing a luminous, honey-toned glow when illuminated. The vertical fluting enhances both light diffusion and visual rhythm, anchoring the design within the late Art Deco tradition while anticipating the romanticism of mid-century Venetian lighting.

This model shows the transition period of Murano production in the 1930s–1940s, when firms like Barovier & Toso and Seguso tried to combine classical Venetian techniques—lattimo, gold inclusion, and applied ornament—with modernist restraint.
