Description from the seller
Elegant Italian-made hanging chandelier, dating from the 1970s. This piece stands out for its geometric, modern design, featuring a radial structure in gold-plated brass that supports numerous elements in solid Murano glass.
The glasses, featuring the characteristic elongated, rounded shape with a central groove (often attributed to the designs of Vistosi or Mazzega), are transparent and of substantial thickness. Their arrangement at varying heights creates a cascading effect that refracts light in an extraordinary way, ensuring diffused, classy illumination.
The central structure presents three light points (E27) directed outward to maximize the brilliance of the crystals. An iconic piece that unites Venetian glassmaking tradition with the rigorous aesthetics of 1970s modernism.
