AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three-light chandelier, entirely handmade by a Murano master glassmaker, a true classic of Murano glass, with decorations in vermeil gold.
All pieces are similar, but not identical, due to the fully artisanal workmanship.
Brightly luminous in the different lighting conditions, see all the photos. It lit the entrance of an apartment in Venice, now under restoration. The former owner recalls that they were purchased at Fornace a Murano, but given the era the purchase documents were not preserved. ) It can be suitable for many environments and styles, and the photos of the different ambient insertions are presented as example).
Transparent glass with vermeil gold decorations, very luminous and evocative.
It has 3 arms with upward-facing cups, with 3 low leaves between them; 3 tall flowers in the center interspersed with 3 tall leaves.
Width: 68 cm; Height: about 72 cm.
Complete with all the pieces. A chip on the glass of one cup is noted (final photos). A replacement cup is also provided, but this too has a small chip on the edge.
Electrical system is functional. 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.
Will be shipped disassembled, with assembly 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.
