20thC Italian Venetian Glass Photograph Frame, Attributable To Barovier & Toso

About the Item

A mid-20th Century glass mounted photograph frame attributable to the world renowned glassmakers Barovier & Toso of Murano in Venice, Italy. The elegant gold leaf detail to the top of the frame and the opalescent white piping which is intertwined within the transparent twisted frame encapsulates Barovier & Toso’s philosophy of elegance and art. Although it is not stamped Barovier & Toso anywhere, his work is quite recognisable and this frame embodies the work coming from his studio in the middle of the 20th century and clearly shows age to the metalware and wood backing. It really makes a statement and would look wonderful on any sideboard or desk, marrying up well with any style of interior, whether traditional, mid-century or modern. Barovier & Toso, one of the oldest glassmaking companies in the world, has been synonymous with exquisite Venetian glass artistry since its founding in 1295. Originating from the illustrious island of Murano, the company has cultivated a legacy of innovation and craftsmanship over centuries. Renowned for its opulent chandeliers, elegant vases, and intricate glass sculptures, Barovier & Toso seamlessly blends traditional techniques with contemporary design. The company’s mastery in manipulating glass into delicate, yet strikingly beautiful forms has earned it a prestigious reputation globally. Each piece from Barovier & Toso reflects a deep commitment to artistic excellence, showcasing the unique Murano flair for vibrant colours and intricate patterns. Today, the brand continues to innovate, preserving its rich heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern glassmaking, making it a cherished name in luxury glassware and a testament to the enduring beauty of Murano glass.
