Venini Murano Glass and Brass Wall Sconce, Mid-Century Modern

An elegant and highly decorative Venini Italian Murano glass and brass wall sconce, executed in the refined Mid-Century Modern style. The sconce features cascading hand-formed clear Murano crystal prisms suspended from curved brass frameworks, creating a sculptural interplay of light, transparency, and warm metallic tones.

We also have a set of 4 available.

The elongated faceted glass elements beautifully refract illumination while lending the fixtures a dramatic architectural presence highly associated with luxury Italian lighting design of the 1960s and 1970s. Reminiscent of designs by Venini, Mazzega, and other celebrated Murano glass ateliers, the sconce embodies the glamour and sophistication sought after by collectors and interior designers alike.

The vertically layered composition creates a striking visual rhythm whether installed in a hallway, dining room, grand entry, or luxury hospitality setting. The combination of polished brass and shimmering Murano crystal offers timeless versatility, pairing equally well with Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, Contemporary, and Mid-Century interiors.

A rare opportunity to acquire this sconce and a substantial matching set of 4 Murano glass sconces — ideal for large-scale residential or designer projects where cohesive statement lighting is essential.
