Pair of Vintage Italian Wall Sconces by Toni Zuccheri for Venini, 1960s
A beautifully composed pair of vintage Italian wall sconces designed by Toni Zuccheri for Venini, showcasing the designer’s signature approach to sculptural glass and atmospheric light.
Each sconce is formed from a cluster of vertically suspended Murano glass elements, characterised by their organic, bark-like texture—reminiscent of corteccia—which softly diffuses and refracts illumination. The glass carries a subtle warmth, enriched by gentle tonal variations and internal movement typical of hand-formed Venetian production.
The composition is anchored by a minimal, geometric white metal frame, creating a striking contrast between the structured architectural support and the fluidity of the glass. Circular metal caps with sphere finials complete each element, adding a refined, almost industrial counterpoint to the organic glass.
When illuminated, the sconces emit a warm, ambient glow, with the textured surface scattering light to create depth and softness rather than direct glare.
Rewired to Australian standards.
