Murano glass floor lamp attributable to Barovier & Toso, made in Italy between the years ’30 and ’40. An elegant example belonging to the refined Murano production of the period, characterised by a structure entirely made of blown and hot-molded glass. The central shaft, made of aqua green glass, features a vertical grooved rigadin work, typical of the Venetian tradition, which gives optical depth and a vibrant interaction with light. The base is composed of four curved glass arched elements, configured in a multiple structure with a strong sculptural impact, less common than the more widespread tripod versions documented on the market. The whole expresses the formal language of transition between late Deco and early Italian modernism. A less common structural configuration, which distinguishes this specimen from the more widespread tripod versions on the market. The structure is completed by brass elements with a coherent patina, which integrate and support the whole with balance. Particularly relevant is the presence of incussed numbering on the metal elements, an indicator of organized production and an original modular assembly system. The base features an articulated construction with separable elements (3+1 configuration), designed to facilitate assembly and maintenance, a feature found in high-level Murano productions of the period. Due to its typological characteristics, performance quality and comparison with specimens documented on the international market, the lamp is attributable to Barovier & Toso.
Similar specimens, generally in tripod configuration and in amber hues, are known from specialized galleries, confirming their belonging to a coherent production line. Teal glass is a less common variation than more popular versions, contributing to greater visual freshness and versatility in contemporary contexts. Brass with original patina. Glass in excellent condition, with no noticeable breakage. Overhauled electrical system. A highly scenic example, ideal for sophisticated interiors, interior design projects, or collections dedicated to early twentieth-century Murano glass.
