AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No Reserve
Pendant lantern typical of the Murano glassmaking tradition, probably dating from the mid-20th century (1950s–1960s).
Height 56 cm Diameter 24 cm.
In full working order. It was installed beneath the portico of a Venetian house.
Bell-shaped pendant lamp in blown transparent glass, featuring a domed form with a shaped lower collar ending in a small solid finial.
Metal band and mount: The glass body is encircled at the top by a gold-tone metal band (probably brass or bronze). Small shaped decorative hooks (in the form of animal heads) are attached to the band, and the supporting chains are fastened to them.
The lantern is supported by a rigid central rod connected to a decorated ceiling rose, together with three side chains attached to the upper metal band.
Interior decoration: Inside, around the central bulb holder, there is a circular element of cut and carved glass that serves as a crown, from which hang crystal elements and faceted obelisk-shaped prism pendants that reflect the light from the bulb.
Top cover: The upper part is closed by a matching glass dome that fits beneath the rod attachment.
In full working order and fitted with an E27 bulb.
Shipping to European Union countries only; islands excluded.
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.
