Pair of Large Barovier & Toso Primavera Table Lamp, Italy, 1970s

This exclusive pair of urn shaped table lamps was hand crafted by Barovier & Toso, one of the oldest family businesses in the world. Founded in 1295 and based in Murano, Italy, the company is synonymous with world-renowned Venetian glass design.

The mouth-blown lamps are made from milky white glass with some darker swirls giving them an almost marble like appearance which is accentuated by the black and gold-speckled trims.

These handmade lamps are in excellent condition and one still carries the original Barovier & Toso sticker confirming their provenance. 

Please note, we also have matching set of wall lights in our shop!

On Primavera:
In 1930 the critically acclaimed Ercole Barovier produced his award-winning “Primavera” series: 
"The Primavera series ... is distinguished by a milky white 'craquelé' glass with the addition of black or blue pasta vitrea trim ("opaque colored glass whose consistency is made to appear like transparent marble ") and decoration. There was a very limited production of this series due to the fact that it was a result of a glass mixture obtained accidentally so it could never be replicated."

Wrapped and Packed with utmost care for safe shipping!

We cannot guarantee that the lamps are in line with codes and standards in your region. We therefore recommend that you consult with a certified professional to ensure that the lamps are installed and work safely.
