Mid-century white & clear piastra glass wall light [45669]
$594.00
A gorgeous wall light from our own mid-century collection, made from clear and white piastra glass on the world-famous island of Murano, in the Venetian lagoon. You can see the matching canopy chandelier in the photos.
Please tell us at our online checkout if you would like a chrome-plated frame or a 24 carat gold-plated frame.
The technique for making piastra glass dates back as far as the thirteenth century, and is very labour intensive, as the molten glass is formed into the required shape by hand, using iron tools, and then left to cool. What you see here are numerous pieces of piastra glass, suspended from the frame. The method may be traditional but the design and style are pure 1970s mid-century modernist.
Measuring 40 centimetres in height, it's much larger than it appears to be in the photographs. As it comes from our own collection, we can have it made for you in custom sizes. Please get in touch with us if you would like to know more
Height : 40 cm
Width : 30 cm
Illumination : 2 x E12 bulbs
