Description from the seller
Murano crystal pendant lamp in a floral chalice shape - Ercole Barovier Style, 1940s/1950s
Description:
Exceptional mid-century vintage pendant lamp, with a distinctly Italian Art Deco aesthetic and attributed to the design of the prestigious Venetian firm Barovier & Toso.
The piece stands out for its central body of hand-blown crystal, molded with an elegant fluted relief that diffuses light softly and warmly. The upper lip features a delicate festooned and undulating edge with a textured finish of subtle internal flashes, a decorative effect of great technical mastery that is echoed in the lower details in the form of vegetal leaves.
Its organic design emulates the silhouette of a flower or inverted chalice, supported by a metal framework with a natural aged patina that enhances its character and historicity. A sophisticated lighting work, ideal for both classic settings and modern design interiors.
Technical details and condition:
• Origin: Murano, Italy (attributed to Ercole Barovier).
• Estimated period: Circa 1940–1950.
• Dimensions: 60 cm total height and 33 cm in diameter.
• Condition: Very good vintage condition. The crystal remains completely intact, with no cracks, breaks, or chips at its edges or decorative leaves. The metal structure shows the typical wear and patina of time, which confirms its age and authenticity. It does not retain an original tag.
The wiring has been replaced.
