Description

Elegant and sculptural, this pair of vintage Murano glass wall sconces showcases the artistry of Italian glassmaking through dramatic calla lily-inspired floral forms and striking monochrome decoration. Each sconce features a flowing shade with graceful organic curves that resemble unfolding flower petals. The layered Murano glass is decorated with bold black and clear zebra-like stripes, creating a dynamic visual effect that changes beautifully depending on the angle and light.

The shades possess a fluid wave-like silhouette that adds movement and softness, while the contrasting striped pattern introduces a graphic, contemporary character. When illuminated, the layered glass reveals additional depth and subtle transparency, enhancing the sculptural quality of the design. The original Murano label detached during cleaning and has been carefully preserved in a protective pocket attached to one of the sconces, maintaining its provenance.

Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Bulb & Plug Compatibility

All pieces use standard Edison screw fittings: E27 (large, most pendants and sconces) or E14 (small, table lamps and multi-arm chandeliers). A handful of pieces use halogen — noted in the listing. E27 and E26 are interchangeable with a simple ring adapter.

These are straightforward socket circuits with no built-in electronics, so they're fully voltage-agnostic — just fit a bulb rated for your local voltage (110V or 220V) and it works.

Plug-in lamps: you'll need a standard EU-to-local plug adapter (EU Type C/F to US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I, etc.). No voltage converter required.
