Archimede Seguso Pair of Wall Sconces in Murano Glass
-
Description
Archimede Seguso was one of the 20th century’s master Venetian glassmakers. He was a key figure in the survival and revival of traditional glassblowing techniques in Murano, Italy. Original in his designs yet consistently mindful of the legacy of glassmaking, Seguso crafted a timelessly tantalizing array of glass pieces throughout his career. Born in Italian glass making center of Murano in 1909, Seguso grew up in the midst of one of Venice’s most historic glassmaking families: the Seguso line in the glass industry can be traced back to the 14th century, and, to this day, the family continues to maintain one of the largest glass furnaces in Murano. By the late 1930s, Archimede had taken over the sole control of the family business, named Seguso Vetri d’Arte (as of 1933). In 1946, he founded his own glassmaking company, Vetreria Artistica Archimede Seguso, where he would pursue his designs in new directions.
