Veneciana model black chandelier with a metal and black chrome resin frame and hand-cut crystal detailing, made in Italy and dating to the 1960s–1970s, in good used condition with minor signs of age, 60 cm wide, 60 cm deep and 50 cm high, in working order, titled Araña Negra.
Description from the seller
It is a chandelier that embraces that elegant drama that Venetian glass can convey even when it dresses in black. The structure—black chrome metal resin, sinuous and well formed—acts as an ornamental skeleton that supports the curved arms, each topped with light in the form of a candle that casts a warm glow over the whole. The color, dark and glossy, creates a delicious contrast with the artisanal crystal details: tiny drops, beads, and prisms that hang like jewels and catch the light in discreet, almost intimate flashes.
The design responds to that Venetian sensibility of the second half of the 20th century, when Murano workshops and other Italian artisans reinterpreted the Baroque and Rococo tradition with a bolder, more theatrical language, playing with deep colors and the sensuality of curves. Here, black brings a contemporary and sophisticated air, while the hand-worked crystal maintains the essence of classic craftsmanship: minimal irregularities, tiny bubbles, that human pulse you perceive in every piece.
Hanging in a space with exposed beams or with warm decor, the lamp does not merely illuminate: it becomes a focal point, a sculptural presence that blends mystery, luxury, and a touch of Venetian nostalgia.
