1950s Ceiling Lamp, Murano Ceiling Lamp, Barovier And Toso, 1950s

This is a vintage glass ceiling light, probably made in Murano by Barovier & Toso, dating back to the 1950s and 1960s. These types of lamps are often made of blown or cut artistic glass and are highly collectible in the antiques and modern art markets. The lampshade is made of clear, worked glass, featuring a ribbed or "graniglia" texture that diffuses the light in a distinctive way. The design is classic-modern and elegant, typical of mid-century Italian furniture. Similar models have been attributed to renowned designers and glassworks such as Barovier & Toso, Venini, and Seguso. It features a central gilded brass knob for mounting. It is designed for ceiling (ceiling light) or wall (sconce).
