AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and majestic ceiling light handmade by Murano glass masters. The design features a circular structure on which large transparent glass leaves are mounted, internally enriched with a precious gold graniglia work (glass powder with golden inclusions) that creates a sparkling effect and a warm, luxurious light.
The organic petals-overlapping form evokes a blooming flower, typical of Murano excellence. The glass is very tactile, thick, and relief-worked to mimic the veins of the leaves. In the center, a coordinated glass cup conceals the bulbs and completes the design with harmony.
Technical Specifications:
Style: Neoclassical / Hollywood Regency.
Era: 1970s / 1980s.
Material: Murano glass with gold inclusions, metal frame finished in gold/brass.
Origin: Italy (Venice – Murano). Production attributed to furnaces such as Barovier & Toso or Seguso for the quality of the graniglia.
Dimensions (cm): Diameter 60cm x Height 30cm
Condition: Excellent. No cracks or chips on the glass leaves. The metal structure is solid and shows a light patina of time that confirms its originality.
Why choose it?
This is an object that never goes out of style, perfect in both classic and modern interiors to add a touch of luxury Italian craftsmanship. The gold graniglia work is particularly sought after because it diffuses light evenly without glare.
