Description

A rare matching set of three vintage Murano glass shell-form wall sconces, handcrafted in Italy during the 1990s. Each sconce features a sculptural shell-inspired shade made from substantial Murano glass combining a clear glass base with delicate white inclusions, creating beautiful depth and a soft luminous effect when illuminated.

A distinctive feature is the dual finish: one side remains smooth and glossy, while the reverse is treated with a satin glass-sand texture, enhancing light diffusion and highlighting the handcrafted nature of the material. Mounted on white metal backplates and professionally rewired for modern use, these sconces offer a clean, versatile aesthetic suited to hallways, bedrooms, living spaces, bathrooms, staircases, and hospitality interiors.

A cohesive set of three — ideal for creating a unified lighting scheme throughout a home.

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.
