Murano glass and brass chandelier in transparent Murano glass, Mid-Century Modern style, originating from Italy (Murano/Venezia), about 90 cm tall with a maximum Ø of 40–42 cm, 7 E27 lamp holders, in very good condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONAL AND RARE LOT: Murano chandelier from the '60s - '70s, Murano style Camer Venini/Mazzega/Sciolari.
The sale includes not only a splendid Italian Modern design chandelier, but a true treasure of 146 original Murano artistic glass pieces from the 1960s/'70s.
To assemble the chandelier in full (6 concentric levels) 85 glasses are enough. The remaining pieces constitute a substantial and extremely rare set of original spare parts. A unique opportunity for interior designers, collectors, or industry professionals who know the commercial value of each period crystal.
COMPOSITION OF THE MAXI LOT (146 Pieces):
· ~66 Leaf/Feather Plates (about 25 cm long): Refined artisanal craftsmanship with a textured glass graniglia surface (A.V. Mazzega / VeArt style), perfect for diffusing a warm, soft light.
· ~90 Shaped Optical Prisms (about 25 cm long): Transparent glossy crystal with an exclusive four-pointed star profile (cross-shaped) extrusion. A complex geometry that multiplies reflections in a spectacular way.
STRUCTURE AND DIMENSIONS:
· Massively crafted brass cage in an ogive/sileur shape across 6 concentric, step-down levels.
· Body height: about 90 cm (excluding chain), with glasses about 115 cm.
· Maximum diameter (top ring): 40-42 cm.
· Light points: 7 offset lampholders (E27) for uniform illumination with no dark spots. Electrical system checked and working.
EXQUISITE ENGINEERING DETAIL: The glasses do not feature the classic fragile through-hole. Each crystal is equipped with a high-precision mounting system: a vertically embedded knurled metal pin. This eliminates the risk of mechanical stress and chipping at the suspension points.
CONDITION: Vintage excellent. The brass structure is solid and shows a natural, fascinating patina that attests to its authenticity. The glasses are intact, brilliant, and ready to be mounted.
SHIPPING AND PICK-UP:
· Given the size (about 146 glasses, 157 total including 11 with small chips but included in the lot) and the object's value, hand pickup is highly recommended.
· Possibility of traceable and insured shipping to be agreed, with professional custom packaging in multiple separate bundles (glasses and structure) at the buyer’s expense.
