About the Item

This dazzling mid-century opaline and scarlet-red Murano glass chandelier by Mazzega features six undulating arms with bell-shaped cups. The opaline glass veers towards a light blue hue, subtly shifting with changes in light. Three tiers of swirling glass embellishments adorn this piece, emanating from the bulbous central column. The central bowl is spiraled, creating a delicate ribbing effect in the glass. This fixture's design masterfully combines modern and historical elements, resulting in a lively centerpiece. The opulent glass hues create a striking contrast between light and color, making it ideal for spaces where design is paramount. The glasshouses on the island of Murano are renowned for their highly ornamented glass chandeliers, crafted through the inflation of molten glass followed by cutting, pincering, and other intricate techniques. AV Mazzega, founded in 1946 by Angelo Vittorio Mazzega, has specialized in creating glass lighting fixtures, particularly prominent in the 1970s and 1980s. Mazzega products are manufactured in accordance with Murano glass traditions and are celebrated for their elegant and timeless designs. The body and arms of this piece are made of opaline and colored Venetian glass. Opaline glass is typically rendered bluish-white by the addition of calcium phosphate (bone ash) and made opalescent by the inclusion of fluorides. The deep red hue of the colored glass is achieved by adding gold chloride to the silica during melting. Achieving such vibrant colors requires incredible precision in proportions and timings. This chandelier exemplifies bold design, resulting in a striking centerpiece. The chandelier is shipped disassembled and will require assembly. Due to its delicate nature, special handling and shipping by an experienced white glove service are recommended. Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=27 in. W=31 in. D=31 in. 15 lbs.
