This wall sconce from 1970s Italy embodies the essentials of mid-century modernist design. The structure combines metal with creamy beige Murano glass, subtly tinged with a yellow undertone. The glass surface is smooth and glossy, shaped into a gently elongated oval with asymmetrical edges, giving the fixture a sculptural presence. A discreet, matte-finished metal mounting point is visible at the front, receding into the background and preserving the overall harmony of form. The sconce measures 47 cm in height, 17 cm in width, and 8 cm in depth. It is preserved in its original, good vintage condition, with minor traces of use typical for the era – small scratches and a gentle patina on both glass and metal. The form of this sconce echoes the story of 1970s Italian design, when light and material were brought together in organic, soft lines. The creamy Murano shade diffuses light gently, recalling the quiet ambience of evenings in past decades. The glass reflects its surroundings with a subtle sheen, while the asymmetric outline gestures toward the sculptural experiments of its time – the piece seems to whisper of a search for balance between function and art. This type of lamp could be perfectly placed in a mid-century modern-inspired living room or an eclectic collectors’ interior. It may be paired with dark wood furnishings, a minimalist table, or a sofa with clean lines to highlight the glass shade’s softness. The sconce works well alongside other Murano glass fixtures, especially against light-colored walls that accentuate its creamy tone. It can be complemented with 1970s accessories such as ceramic vases or geometric art prints. The sconce retains its
