Description from the seller
Rare 4-light chandelier, entirely handmade by a master Murano glassmaker, a true classic of Murano glass from the mid-20th century.
All pieces are similar, but not identical, given the fully artisanal craftsmanship.
Bright luminosity in the various lighting conditions, see all the photos. It lit the entrance of an apartment in Venice, now under restoration. The former owner recalls that they were purchased at Fornace in Murano, but due to the era the purchase documents were not preserved.
Clear glass, with non-serial finishes (see the wrinkling of the leaves).
Complete and in good condition.
Dating: circa 1950/1960.
It has 4 arms with cups facing up, and at each arm a garland hangs. 4 low leaves between them; 4 tall leaves in the center.
Width: 55 cm. Height: 70 cm. approximately. Equipped with a beautiful wrought iron hook typical of Venetian chandeliers of the period. With the hook the height becomes about 80 cm.
A classic Murano chandelier, luminous and particularly suitable for a classical interior, but also modern due to its beautiful and elegant transparent glass.
Electrical system functioning. Socket for E14 bulbs. Note the beautiful period lampholders in brass and ceramic.
It will be shipped disassembled, with mounting instructions for safer transport.
Shipping only to continental EU countries, excluding the islands.
Seller's Story
I mainly collect Murano chandeliers thanks to the collaboration with some companies that restore apartments and palaces in Venice. In this way, over time, I have recovered the chandeliers of elegant and often ancient houses in the lagoon and in the nearby areas.
Murano glass has an incomparable charm: every piece, even the simplest, has a story hidden in its fragility and its iridescent light.
