Description

Exceptional Murano glass three-light chandelier in the manner of Ercole Barovier. Founded in 1295, Barovier is a respected name in Italian Murano glass design. In the 1920-1939’s, designer Ercole Barovier began a 50-year career as the artistic director of Barovier & Toso. This chandelier is attributed to his design. This timeless design that first appeared in the 1930s is called “Rostrato” by Ercole Barovier and continues to meet today’s home decor needs. This light was made in the 1960s, in clear “cristallo” glass that has an outer layer of rows characterized by spikes called “rostri” that protrude from the surface. This Rostrato pattern is done as the glass is cooling off. The natural non-uniform glass spikes create the allure and beauty of the design. Due to being handmade, there are irregularities. These signs of natural imperfections make the artistry alluring.
