Mid Century Murano Attributed to Barovier

About the Item

Prized for their elegance, along with the intricacy of techniques and history, Murano glass chandeliers continue to add brilliance to modern and traditional homes. This mid-century chandelier is no exception, created in the style of Ercole Barovier, whose designs continue to inspire and influence glass artists today. This gorgeous piece is made from a combination of dazzling cristallo glass and a pale pink central bowl, which itself resembles a clam shell. From the central bowl emerges two tiers of carefully crafted fronds, surrounding the spiraling center rod with a decorative sphere. This piece is distinguished by its rosy hue, a rarity in this style, which was achieved by adding selected metal oxides to the silica during melting. To achieve a color like this an incredible amount of accuracy is required in terms of proportions and timing. The surface of the glass has a magnificent netted texture, created using the "Incisione a Reticello" technique, “reticello” coming from the Italian word for network. This involves molten glass being blown into or pressed onto a mold that is carved with a criss-cross pattern, creating an embossed effect on the glass surface. This technique can give a similar net-like appearance without the complex cane work involved in traditional Reticello. Produced in the legendary glass houses of Murano, this chandelier is not just a lighting fixture but a piece of art, reflecting centuries of glassmaking excellence. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship make it an exceptional statement piece that promises to elevate the sophistication of any space it occupies, traditional or contemporary. Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=27 in. W=23 in. D=23 in. 20 lbs.
