Venetian Glass Animals For Sale on 1stDibs
There is a range of venetian glass animals for sale on 1stDibs. The range of distinct venetian glass animals — often made from glass, blown glass and art glass — can elevate any home. Venetian glass animals have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 20th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco and Modern venetian glass animals are consistently popular styles. Venetian glass animals have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Gino Vistosi, Murano and Alberto Donà are consistently popular.
How Much are Venetian Glass Animals?
Prices for venetian glass animals can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, venetian glass animals begin at $440 and can go as high as $8,860, while the average can fetch as much as $1,200.
Finding the Right Animal-sculptures for You
Invite the untamed wonders of the animal kingdom into your home — and do so safely — with the antique, new and vintage animal sculptures available on 1stDibs.
Artists working in every medium from furniture design to jewelry to painting have found inspiration in wild animals over the years. For sculptors, three-dimensional animal renderings — both realistic and symbolic — crisscross history and continents. In as early as 210 B.C., intricately detailed terracotta horses guarded early Chinese tombs, while North America’s native Inuit tribes living in the ice-covered Arctic during the 1800’s wore small animal figurines carved from walrus ivory. Indeed, animal sculpture has a long history, and beginning in the 19th century, the art form started becoming not only fashionable but artistically validated — a trend that continues today. At home, animal sculptures — polished bronze rhinos crafted in the Art Deco style or ceramic dogs of the mid-century modern era — can introduce both playfulness and drama to your decor.
In the case of the frosted glass sculptures crafted by artisans at legendary French glassmaker Lalique, founded by jeweler and glass artist René Lalique, some animal sculptures are purely decorative. With their meticulously groomed horse manes and detailed contours of their parakeet feathers, these creatures want to be proudly displayed. Adding animal sculptures to your bookcases can draw attention to your covetable collection of vintage monographs, while side tables and wall shelving also make great habitats for these ornamental animal figurines.
Some sculptures, however, can find suitable nests in just about any corner of your space. Whimsical brass flamingos or the violent, realist bronze lions created by Parisian sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye are provocative and versatile pieces that can rest on windowsills or your desk. Otherwise, the brass cat shoehorns and bronze porcupine ashtrays designed by Viennese artist Walter Bosse are no longer roaming aimlessly throughout your living room, as they’ve found a purpose to serve.
Embark on your safari today and find a fascinating collection of vintage, modern and antique animal sculptures on 1stDibs.
Questions About Venetian Glass Animals
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021There is no real difference between Venetian glass and Murano glass. While both Venetian glass and Murano glass come from Murano Island, Venice is a more popular location than Murano, hence it is called widely as Venetian glass. You can use both search terms to find the best piece for you on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if Venetian glasses are fake, first search for identifying marks or labels. You can research these marks to help determine authenticity. However, many convincing fakes are in circulation. As a result, the best method for authenticating Venetian glass is to seek the opinion of a licensed appraiser. You'll find a collection of expertly vetted Venetian glassware on 1stDibs.
