Paire d'appliques en verre fumé de Murano, vers 1960

Le verre, épais et d'un gris fumé très léger, a une surface froissée, striée, qui évoque une glace en train de se rompre. Chaque applique superpose des plaques aux bords relevés en rouleaux et, au centre, un dôme côtelé qui enferme l'ampoule et en diffracte la lueur dans ses reliefs. Des rivets et des pattes de métal bruni, couleur laiton, tiennent l'ensemble. Posées côte à côte, les deux pièces se répondent sans être tout à fait identiques, et la lumière révèle dans chacune un dessin propre.

Murano doit son identité verrière à une loi du 8 novembre 1291, qui rassemble sur l'île l'essentiel des verreries vénitiennes. Un renouveau s'amorce dans les années 1920 avec des maisons comme Venini ou Barovier et Toso, et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale les verreries reprennent leur production en modernisant leurs formes. La galerie situe ces appliques vers 1960 et les dit de Murano, sans nommer ni verrerie ni modèle, et aucune marque ni étiquette n'est signalée.

The glass, thick and of a very light smoky grey, has a crumpled, striated surface that recalls ice on the point of breaking. Each wall light layers plates with edges rolled back and, at the centre, a ribbed dome that encloses the bulb and scatters its glow through the relief. Rivets and clips of burnished, brass-coloured metal hold the whole together. Side by side, the two pieces answer each other without being quite identical, and light reveals a drawing of its own in each.

Murano owes its glassmaking identity to a law of 8 November 1291, which gathered most of the Venetian glassworks on the island. A revival began in the 1920s with houses such as Venini and Barovier and Toso, and after the Second World War the glassworks resumed production while modernising their forms. The gallery places these wall lights around 1960 and calls them Murano, without naming a glassworks or a model, and no mark or label is recorded.
