Floor lamp, Murano glass and gold dust, Barovier & Toso, 50’s – Italy Spectacular mid-century Murano glass floor lamp, designed by Barovier & Toso. For discerning collectors of unique, rare and hard-to-find pieces on the Italian Murano glass art market, this extremely rare and elegant Venetian torch-shaped floor lamp will not disappoint at all. The gold dust gives a beautiful golden color to this spectacular lamp, a true work of art. Assembled by hand and made entirely of blown glass with gold dust inside, with a central metal stem that runs along the entire interior body of the lamp. The unique design, a shaft divided at the waist by a glass crown enriched with equidistant masks and a finial, where the light resides forming a large torch or vase with a lid, in the Fortuny, Venetian style, with great orientalist influences, make this mid-century floor lamp truly museum-worthy.
