PoliArte Set of Wall Sconces in Murano by Albano Poli, Italy 1970s
-
Description
The lamps of maestro glass artist Albano Poli, which he manufactured and released under his PoliArte label, are often of undeniable beauty. To be fair, Murano glass needs very little to be loved by its viewer, but Poli's compositions of the irregular bars in all kinds of applications have an even more irresistible appeal. The example we would like to provide for the above statement is this set of two wall appliques.
Design
The wall appliques consist of a rough pyramid-like construction of precisely stacked glass rods of hand-blown Murano glass. At the back of this stack of bars are metal brackets with which they then slide into a wall plate.In addition to the transparent bars, which also portray a beautiful brilliance, we also see five amber-colored ones in each lamp. They provide extra warmth to the light from the lamp behind it and intertwine subtly with the more neutral effect of the transparent elements. This effect is also coming back in the reflection on the back wall. Resulting in a delicate and elegant display.
The wall plate is equipped with two E14 fittings.
Condition
The lamps are in good condition and the old silicone with which the glass is fixed has been repaired where necessary. -
