Pair of “Totem” lamps in Murano glass and brass — Italy, 1980s-90s

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

These light fittings are distinguished by a “totem” structure composed of a stack of various hand-blown glass elements, offering an interplay of textures and contrasts:

* White opaline glass: globes and a domed 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 that structure the architectural silhouette of the whole. The mount and separating rings are in gilt brass, accentuating 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.

Electrics fully overhauled and refurbished.

Presented here with conical grey/green shades.
