Description
A striking set of two vintage Murano glass ribbed rectangular wall sconces, handcrafted in Italy from thick sculptural art glass. The handcrafted glass combines a clear crystalline base with delicate scattered white inclusions, creating an icy appearance reminiscent of frozen water, rock crystal, or translucent caramel candy. Deep vertical ribs add texture and dimension, beautifully catching and diffusing light across the surface.
The elongated rectangular silhouettes are softened by a gently curved profile, evoking seashells or folded glass panels. Their substantial thickness and handcrafted character make them decorative objects even when unlit. The pair consists of two complementary sizes, creating an attractive architectural composition when installed together. Their elegant simplicity integrates seamlessly into Mid-Century Modern, minimalist, coastal, organic modern, and contemporary interiors.

Specifications
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.
