This very rare wall light by Giovanni Cenedese exemplifies the bold aesthetic of 1970s Murano glass design. The fixture features a distinctive geometric silhouette, combining a flared upper shade with a spherical mid-section and a tapered finial, creating a compelling visual rhythm. Giovanni Cenedese was a master Murano glass craftsman who set up his own business in Venice in 1970's, producing top quality glass lighting, sculpture and objetd'art ; pieces that are highly collectable today.
Crafted entirely from Murano glass, the piece showcases a sophisticated colour palette. The primary shade is rendered in a soft, translucent pink, which transitions into a vibrant green sphere, culminating in a speckled pink and white finial. The glass is mounted on a white metal backplate, designed for secure wall installation. The designer's signature is subtly etched into the glass, confirming its provenance.
In great condition, the light exhibits minimal signs of careful use, preserving its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. The glass components remain vibrant and free from significant damage, while the metal mounting shows light wear consistent with age.
This Cenedese wall light serves as a captivating focal point in both vintage and contemporary interiors. Its sculptural form and vibrant colours make it an ideal addition to a hallway, living room, or bedroom, pairing beautifully with mid-century modern or eclectic decor. It is in perfect working order and needs a E14 light bulb.
