Description
This hand‑blown Murano chandelier presents a refined opaline Filigrana palette, its milky translucence laced with soft spiral striping that glows warmly when lit. The union of opaline glass and filigrana is among the most intricate Murano techniques, requiring the control and expertise of master glassblowers to achieve the delicate balance of milky depth and crisp spiral clarity. The sculptural central column is composed of stacked, baluster‑like elements, rising to a scalloped corona and descending to a generous lower bowl. That lower section is distinguished by controlled bubbles and vertical ribbing, details that lend depth and a gentle shimmer across the surface.
Three scrolling arms sweep outward with a supple, ribbed texture, each culminating in a shallow, fluted bobeche whose spiral pattern echoes the body. Brass accents, including the lower finial and sockets, introduce a mellow contrast to the cool opaline tones. Airy yet substantial, the piece captures the elegance of Venetian craftsmanship and brings an ethereal, diffused radiance reminiscent of clouds to entryways, dining spaces, or bedrooms.
Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=23 in. W=26 in. D=26 in. 15 lbs. Requires a canopy and chain, which is not included.
