Have a question about this piece?

A pair of Italian wall sconces by 2B Illuminazione, 1980s. Each has a half-bowl shade of blown glass painted in a golden bronze tone, on a metal support.

The painted glass reflects softly and turns the light into a deep amber glow. They suit a bedroom, a hallway or a cosy living room. The glass is intact, with no cracks or chips; the metal supports show visible signs of age and some cracked paint. They have been rewired and are fully working.

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.

Outside the EU, please have a local electrician check the lamp before use.

Every vintage piece here was blown and shaped by hand in Italy, most of it in Murano glass, and no two are exactly alike. Lighting from those decades was made to last, with thick glass, solid metal and careful proportions, and it gives the soft, warm glow that new lamps rarely manage. It is sculpture as much as light: it moves with you from home to home, keeps its value, and stays beautiful for another fifty years.
