Toso Selezione Murano Glass Sconce – Italian Wall Lamp from the 1970s

Murano Glass Wall Sconce Toso Selezione – 1970s

Rare Italian wall sconce made of Murano glass, characterized by a sculptural and organic shape and a distinctive central element in translucent aquamarine blue glass.

The large transparent glass diffuser features a textured and irregular surface that captures and reflects light, creating a particularly striking effect when the lamp is lit.

What makes this piece even more interesting is the presence of the original marking "Toso Selezione – GT – Murano – Made in Italy", visible on the glass. This detail is an important identifying element and distinguishes the lamp from numerous unmarked examples on the market.

The combination of glasswork, the geometric yet organic form, and the central blue detail perfectly interprets the language of Italian design of the 1970s, with modernist and Space Age influences.

A particularly spectacular lamp, capable of functioning both as a lighting element and as a design and collector's item.
