A striking pair of Italian Murano glass wall sconces, each featuring a substantial hand-blown glass shade worked in the traditional Pulegoso technique and mounted on a sculptural patinated brass arm and backplate.

The softly rounded Murano glass is distinguished by a dense constellation of air bubbles suspended within the glass, the defining characteristic of pulegoso glass. These controlled inclusions create remarkable texture and depth, giving the glass an almost effervescent appearance while beautifully diffusing the light when illuminated. Pulegoso is indeed recognized by this rich concentration of bubbles within the glass mass. 

The luminous, nearly colorless glass contrasts beautifully with the darkened patinated brass, while a rectangular brass detail at the base provides a subtle architectural accent. The combination of traditional Venetian glassmaking craftsmanship with the clean, restrained form gives the sconces a distinctly modern character.

Elegant whether illuminated or not, this pair represents the enduring appeal of hand-blown Murano glass lighting, combining artisanal Italian craftsmanship with sophisticated contemporary design. Ideal as statement wall lights flanking a mirror, artwork, console or doorway.

This pair of sconces is in very nice condition. The photos accurately depict the condition.
