Title: Murano Glass Venini Wall Sconce
Post by: casbee on April 04, 2013, 08:55:15 AM: Good Morning All,
After alot of research and contacting a local lighting shop that confirmed this is a Murano Glass Sconce. I have found this to be made by Venini but I am unable to narrow the date range. I have found similar sconces that date from the 1960s to 1980s. the Scone Measurements are Height= 12" Width= 8" Length= 16 1/2" the glass is heavy and measures 3/8' thick. Thank You for any information you can provide.

Murano glass fixtures were very popular in the late 70s. Many companies imported them. A great deal of them were sold in the Bowery in New York. From what I can see from the pulled design in clear glass they appear as those from that era. It is hard to tell without a good photo. I am confused by the US plug. That must have been a conversion from hard wire to pin up.
