About the Item

Italian vintage wall applique from 1970. Original Polifemo wall light designed by Angelo Brotto for Esperia, Italy, during the 1970s. This Murano glass wall lamp perfectly represents the sculptural and experimental spirit of Italian design from the mid-century to late modern period. Crafted in transparent Murano glass with refined silver-toned metal elements, the lamp stands out for its bold yet balanced presence, where material quality and form are in constant dialogue. The design is both architectural and poetic: the glass diffuses a warm and atmospheric light, creating a delicate play of reflections and shadows that enhances the surrounding space. More than a lighting fixture, Polifemo functions as a true wall sculpture, capable of elevating both vintage and contemporary interiors with effortless elegance. Produced in Italy between 1970 and 1979, this piece embodies the excellence of Murano glassmaking combined with Angelo Brotto’s visionary approach to form and function. The subtle patina on the metal components, developed naturally over time, adds depth and character, reinforcing the authenticity and vintage appeal of the lamp. The wall light is in very good vintage condition, with only light signs of wear consistent with age and use. Please note that one screw is not original, a minor detail that does not affect functionality or aesthetic integrity. The lamp has been tested and is fully working. A timeless and sophisticated piece, ideal for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking an iconic example of Italian modern design from the 1970s.
