The form is a voluptuous, triple-gourd silhouette: a large, waisted, ribbed bulbous base surmounted by two graduated ribbed spheres, separated by molten glass collars infused with pure 24k gold leaf. This creates a floating, jewel-like column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass itself is extraordinary, as captured in your superb macro photography: a deep, saturated olive chartreuse \/ emerald green cased glass with the signature Bullicante technique - thousands of controlled air bubbles suspended within the thick glass walls. Each bubble is gilded with floating gold dust and gold leaf inclusions, known as Avventurina, that shimmer like stars in a green lagoon when the light catches them. The body is vertically ribbed, or costolato, which refracts the light and magnifies the gold flecks within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass rests on an elaborate, heavy, pierced ormolu base in the Rococo manner: a quatrefoil base with scrolling acanthus leaves, beading, and scrolled feet in a dark patinated gilt bronze, with rubbed gold highlights as seen in your close-ups - the perfect baroque counterpoint to the modernist glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach lamp has custom painted parchment shades, which are haute couture: a cream parchment with a hand-painted moss green border at top and bottom, trimmed with gilt bands and topped with a delicate hand-painted gilt rococo scrolling cartouche centered with a palmette. The original brass finials and heavy brass hardware with rotary switches complete the ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWired with original gold cloth cord and in perfect working condition. A matched pair of this color, size, and condition with original shades is exceptionally rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 37 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDiameter: 18.5 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eSold As:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSet of 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003ePower Source:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHardwired\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eVoltage:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e110-150v\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eLampshade:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eMid- Century\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eBronze, Gold Leaf, Metal, Murano Glass, parchment\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eMid-20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" type=\"button\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51586071462194,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/f_51442632_1786750274141_bg_processed.jpg?v=1787003032","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/pair-of-vintage-murano-glass-table-lamps-barovier-toso-style-olive-green","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
