Modernist Handblown Murano Table Lamps in Smoked Gunmetal with 24kt Gold Bands
Modernist Handblown Murano Table Lamps in Smoked Gunmetal with 24kt Gold Bands
About
This elegant and sophisticated pair of table lamps were handblown in Murano, Italy- the islands off the coast of Venice renowned for centuries for their superlative glass production. They feature a domed base and three orbital forms in mottled Murano glass of a smoked gunmetal hue that evokes the sublime and cosmic suggesting meteoric rock. Gold bands replete with flecks of 24kt yellow gold adjoin these orbs. They feature polished nickel fittings and iridescent mercurial globular finials with a subtle viscous texture that suggest miniature planets. With their compelling contrast of metallic tones and classically inspired forms, these lamps are as striking as they are timeless, blending perfectly with any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. They have been newly rewired to American standards and are in excellent condition. They accommodate two Edison based bulbs each providing up to 200 watts of light per lamp. They have been fitted with custom shades.
