Description
This exquisitely handcrafted gold-infused cristallo Murano chandelier has six undulating scroll arms with hanging scarlet-colored baubles, matching the red trim on the central bowl.

The glass houses on the island of Murano are famous for highly ornamented glass chandeliers made of pincered and molded blown glass. This elegant chandelier showcases a mastery of Venetian glass craftsmanship. This mid-century chandelier is a pared-down interpretation of the ‘Ca’Rezzonico’ style of chandeliers created by Giuseppe Briati in the 18th century. The ‘Ca’Rezzonico’ style is named for the Venetian palace, today a public museum dedicated to 18th century Venice, where Briati’s initial masterpiece resides. The body and arms of this piece are made of clear, colorless Venetian glass enhanced with 24-carat gold leaf. The subtle glints of gold concentrated on the trim, leaves, and flowers enchant the illusion of sunlight.
A splendid combination of glimmering gold and scarlet red. This piece is distinguished by its opulent combination of hues, reminiscent of fine jewels. This chandelier demonstrates a delicate conversion of modern and Baroque-style design still loved by many, resulting in a glistening floral centerpiece. An example of refinement and ephemeral beauty, this chandelier is truly captivating and elevates any interior.
