Description
Pair Murano Glass antique wall lights sconces, iridescent crystal, attributed to Barovier & Toso, 1920`s ca, Italian.
These antique wall lights have been gently cleaned while respecting the age patina. They are newly rewired & earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to install. Each has the following new components: silk gold tone cable and E14 Candle lamp holders with card covers. New decorative Candle lightbulbs included. These lights can be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use these sconces in other countries although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity.
Presented here is a quality decorative pair of antique Italian Murano Glass crystal sconces most probably produced by Barovier & Toso between the 1920`s & the 1940`s in the traditional style, with their characteristic iridescent finish. Handcrafted with great attention to detail with a diversity of glass & crystal components, all of this typical signs of quality from the renowned Italian Murano Glass Manufacturer.
The ethereal effect of the iridescent crystals, classical form & elegant proportions make these wall lights well suited for a range of interiors such as Antique, Art Deco, Traditional, Country, Hollywood Regency or Contemporary.
The design of each sconce consists of a gilt metal backplate covered by a clear crystal removable bobeche in the shape of a bowl, with a cut geometric pattern. This crystal portion slides along a gilt metal tubular short bar while fitting the sconce to the wall, and can be secured in place by a ring. The gilt metal backplate has a flat arm to fit to the wall.
From this short bar there are two gilt metal arms curving upwards leading to the lampholders, and a decorative short arm at the center of the sconce curving downwards. These arms are covered in crystals. The glass work is exquisite: flat segments of clear crystal cover the arms sideways. The intersections between these segments are decorated with clear crystal roses of different sizes, the lateral ones are finished with a crystal bead, the central ones carries an iridescent bevelled crystal droplet. These crystal droplets are playful variations on the pendeloque `maple leaf` shape. There are two iridescent droplets hanging along each arm: the one close to the bobeche is of medium size and hangs from an octagonal iridescent crystal, the one at the center of the arm is of large size and hangs from a clear octagonal crystal.
The short arm at the centre of the sconce is also covered sideways by flat clear crystal plus crystal roses with beads & a medium iridescent crystal droplet hanging from an octagonal iridescent crystal.
The two main arms lead to a gilt metal rosette where a clear crystal bobeche sits on top. Each bobeche is decorated with a cut crystal geometric pattern and has a wavy edge. It carries 5 iridescent small crystal droplets, each hanging from a small iridescent octagonal crystal.
In total each sconce carries 15 iridescent crystal droplets: 2 large `maple leaf` pendeloque (arms), 2 medium `almond` pendeloque (arms), 1 medium `maple leaf` pendeloque (center arm), 10 small `maple leaf` pendeloque (bobeches).
On top of each bobeche sits the new Candle lampholder, covered by a new cream card candle tube. Each wall light carries 2 standard small screw light bulbs (E14) up to 60 Watts. At present these lights are fitted & photographed with new decorative warm white dimmable Philips LED Candle clear flame tip shaped light bulbs of 25 Watts. These are included in the price. It would be possible to use any other (E14) Candle light bulbs for a different look, or to add clip-on lampshades.
Both antique sconces are in very good condition for their age. The warm antique patina has been preserved on the metal adding character. The metal frames are sound with no damage. The gilt finish is in good condition with tiny marks & minor rubbing in line with age. A ll the original antique crystal parts & droplets are present and in very good condition for their age, with no chips or cracks and only minor superficial marks & scarce very tiny nibbles/rubbing to the droplets, hardly noticeable, all in line with age & wear.
Additional dimensions:
The total Height with the lightbulb on is: 43 cm.
The base alone (without the bulb) is: Height: 34 cm, Width: 25 cm, Depth: 21 cm.
A matching pair to complete a set of 4 sconces is available in stock and advertised separately on this site as item # 11310.
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care with packing. For safe transport the frames will be wrapped separately in bubble wrap, foam and an outer layer of card.
