Venini Italy, c.
1928 glass, brass 18 w x 7½ d x 18 h in (46 x 19 x 46 cm)
As the artistic director of Venini, sculptor Napoleone Martinuzzi made radical changes to the product line. He infused traditional forms once defined by lines and profiles with volume and mass. The resulting sculptural glass works, like these sconces, were finely crafted combinations of traditional Venini style and modern design.
