Description
This exquisite multicolored 19th-century floral Murano glass chandelier has three lights disguised by a cascade of flowers and leaves, evoking a wild garden. Featuring a scroll center column with a decorative globe and delicate trim. Each facet of this piece is decorated with sprouting botanical details of yellows, pinks, and blues. When illuminated, the handcrafted chandelier acts as a striking floral centerpiece.
The piece is distinguished by the thinness of the blown glass which demonstrates a mastery of such craftsmanship and artistry. The delicate nature of the material allows for a spectacular play of light. The various hues were achieved by adding selected metal oxides to the silica during melting. To achieve the colors, an incredible amount of accuracy is required in terms of proportions and timing. This piece is also rather unique for its use of asymmetry and variations of movement.
Despite the presence of flea-bit chips and other mentioned imperfections, the chandelier’s organic design and three-dimensional structure naturally conceal these flaws, maintaining its stunning and captivating appearance.
Overall, this chandelier is an example of master craftsmanship and adept imagination. This blooming chandelier serves to elevate and enchant an interior with the essence of springtime.
