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.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
