Pair of 'Totem' Lamps in Murano Glass and Brass — Italy, 1980s-90s

An elegant pair of postmodern / Hollywood Regency table lamps, executed in 1980s Murano glass and brass.

These lights are distinguished by a 'totem' structure composed of a stacking of different hand-blown glass elements, offering an interplay of textures and contrasts:

* White opaline glass: globes and a bombé base in satin opaline glass

* Gold-leaf textured glass: intermediate discs in solid moulded blown glass, one translucent with radiating ribs, the other enriched with gold dust inclusions according to the traditional Murano technique.

* Geometric elements: Murano glass cubes structuring the architectural silhouette of the whole. The mount and separating rings are in gilt brass, emphasising the elegance of the materials.

The design is characteristic of the high-end Murano production of this period, in the spirit of houses such as Barovier & Toso or Mazzega.

Excellent state of preservation.

Electrical wiring fully overhauled and refurbished.

Presented here with conical lampshades in grey/green.
