AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Five-light chandelier, entirely handmade by a Murano master glassmaker, with transparent glass.
All pieces are similar, but not identical, given the fully artisanal workmanship.

Bright and luminous in different lighting conditions, see all the photos. Purchased in Murano in the 1980s, but due to the era the purchase documents were not kept.
It may be suitable for different placements: as an example, a few images are provided with possible installation solutions.

Height 73 cm. Diameter 57 cm. approx.

5 arms with floral cups, alternating with 5 short twisted leaves. In the center 4 tall leaves and 4 tall flowers;
From each arm hangs a garland-like decoration.

Electrical system functioning. Sockets for E14 bulbs. The chandelier has only been dusted to preserve its light patina of time, but it can be washed before mounting if desired.
Complete and in good condition: note the restoration of the tip of one short leaf (not visible when mounted) and small losses on the morise of the end piece. The morise is the typical hot-relief decoration, characterized by a wavy or twisted cord-like shape that outlines many pieces of the chandelier. (see the last photos)

It will be shipped disassembled, with assembly instructions for safer transport. Last photos for the detail of assembly.

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.
