This pair of 1960s Italian wall sconces represents a masterful collaboration between architectural form and artisanal glasswork, designed by the renowned Gaetano Sciolari. Each sconce is composed of three substantial, interlocking cubes of authentic Murano glass, known for their incredible weight and clarity. The glass features a mesmerizing "pulegoso" effect, filled with thousands of tiny air bubbles that diffuse light into a soft, atmospheric glow while adding a rich, organic texture to the geometric Brutalist shape. The sconces are mounted on sleek metal backplates, characteristic of Sciolari’s mid-century aesthetic which favored clean lines and high-quality industrial materials. When illuminated, the thick ice-like glass creates a brilliant crystalline shimmer, making these pieces as much a work of sculptural art as they are functional lighting fixtures. These vintage sconces are in excellent condition, showing the beautiful craftsmanship expected of 1960s Murano production. They are perfect for adding a sophisticated, modernist focal point to a hallway, living area, or bedroom.
