Mid Century Italian Wall Sconce by La Murrina, c. 1960s

An exceptional vintage Italian wall sconce by La Murrina, dating to the 1960s, featuring a sculptural arrangement of hand-blown Murano glass petals mounted upon a brass frame. Executed in beautifully textured crackle-finish glass, the composition combines clear and graduated amber tones, creating a striking interplay of light, transparency, and organic form. The overlapping glass elements evoke the appearance of delicate petals or leaves, a hallmark of the artistic Murano lighting produced during the Mid-Century period.

When illuminated, the richly textured glass softly diffuses light, highlighting the warm amber inclusions and subtle ruby accents within the glass while creating a beautiful ambient glow. The layered composition gives the piece depth and movement, making it as much a work of sculpture as it is a functional light fitting.

Retaining its original Italian character and craftsmanship, this rare wall sconce exemplifies the refined elegance and innovation associated with Murano glass lighting of the era. Professionally restored and rewired to Australian Standards, it is ideally suited to both contemporary and traditional interiors.
