AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique 3-light Murano chandelier, entirely handmade by a Murano master glassmaker, a very rare piece.
All the pieces are similar, but not identical, due to the completely artisanal craftsmanship.
Bright and luminous in various lighting conditions, see all photos. Comes from a small sitting room of an elegant Venice apartment, now under restoration.
Transparent glass with decorations in red, blue and yellow glass.
Complete and in good condition.
Dating: circa 1930/40: note that the arms — not hollowed inside — were conceived as candle-holders. For this reason the wiring was later added with the electrical cable fixed to the outside of the arm. The glass shades 'pulegoso' are removable.
Three colored little garlands are threaded on the arms.
The arms are interspersed with leaves bent downward, while at the center three tall leaves and three blue flowers alternate. The base is of exceptional and very rare workmanship, with bunches of colored flowers around, fixed with wire inside the base (photos at the end).
Width: 55 cm; Height: about 69 cm. Comes with the original wrought-iron Venetian ceiling hook for suspension.
A classic, luminous Murano chandelier, particularly suitable for a classical setting, but also modern due to its beautiful and elegant glass. To illustrate its fit, a few photos show it placed in different environments.
Complete with all pieces.
Good overall preservation for its age: small defects to the morise of the finial, the crown, and a small pendant fruit from the arm (shown in the final photos).
Electrical system works. Socket type for E27 bulbs. The chandelier has only been dusted to preserve its light patina of time.
Will be shipped disassembled, with mounting instructions for safer transport. The final photos illustrate the assembly steps.
Shipping only within 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.
