AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large six-light chandelier entirely handmade by a Murano master glassmaker, made circa 1980, with amber and carmine glass.

All pieces are similar but not identical, due to the entirely artisanal workmanship.

Bright and luminous in different lighting conditions; see all photos. It illuminated the living room of a Venice apartment, now under restoration. The previous owner recalls that they were purchased at Fornace in Murano, but due to the era purchase documents were not preserved.

It may be suitable for many environments and styles, and photos of different room placements are shown as examples.

It has 6 arms with cups facing upward, alternating with 6 twisted leaves downward. In the center, 5 tall flowers and five tall leaves.

Width: 66 cm Height: 83 cm, approx. With a short 100 cm chain, but it can be lengthened to taste.

Complete with all parts. Electrical system working. E14 bulb sockets.

The chandelier has been only dusted to maintain its light patina of age, but can be washed before installation if desired.

It will be shipped disassembled, with mounting instructions, for safer transport.

Shipping only to continental EU countries, excluding 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.
