Large "Fazzoletto" Ø61 cm Murano Glass Pendant Light — White Swirl Filigree (Mezza Filigrana), Italy 1970s/1980s
Description & Pedigree:
An exceptional and rare XL-sized (61 cm diameter) architectural pendant lamp, a masterpiece of glassblowing art from Murano (Venice, Italy) dating from the 1970s/1980s era. Unsigned, which is standard for Murano lighting of this period as they originally relied on removable paper stickers, this piece features a dramatic wavy silhouette in the iconic Fazzoletto (handkerchief) form.
The shade was mouth-blown using the complex traditional mezza filigrana technique, embedding hundreds of parallel fine white opal glass canes into the clear crystal to form a mesmerizing, swirling linear pattern. The conical neck is further embellished with a striking applied solid white glass spiral coil wrapping around the collar.
Lighting Features & Condition:
The Italian art glass functions as a magnificent organic light diffuser. When illuminated, the bulb highlights the intricate texture of the filigree lines, emitting a beautiful, soft, and highly elegant glare-free glow.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The Murano glass is in pristine shape with no cracks, chips, or flea bites along the delicate ruffled rim or the outer spiral coil.
• Components Included: Complete with its original vintage white-lacquered mounting hardware, secure top stirrup loop suspension mechanism, safety cable, white electrical cord, and matching white ceiling canopy. Fitted with a standard bulb socket (ready to hang).
• Dimensions: Exceptional wingspan diameter of approx. 61 cm | Glass shade height ~28 cm.
