Mid-Century Murano Ceiling Light with White Filigrana

About the Item

This mid-century Murano ceiling light is adorned with delicate white thin stripes. The shape of this fixture resembles a covered lantern, and the spirals create soft patterns on the wall when illuminated. The striping comes from the Filigrana technique, a style of blown glass that originated in the 16th century on the island of Murano, Italy. "Filigrana" is Italian for "filigree glass" and refers to blown glass made with colorless, white, and sometimes colored canes. The glasshouses on the island of Murano are famous for their highly ornamented glass chandeliers made of pincered and molded blown glass. This elegant fixture showcases a mastery of Venetian glass craftsmanship. This spiraled piece is truly mesmerizing and would be a wonderful addition to any bedroom, kitchen, or study. Dimensions with ceiling cover: H=15 in. W=13 in. D=13 in. 5 lbs.
