About the Item

Elegant full Rezzonico Venetian chandelier. Glass elements are mainly made in fume color. Additional glass is in ruby color (petals, morise and leaves) Excellent combination of colors. See the pictures for details. About the fumé color: this is a range of colors that were used for chandeliers. The characteristic is to generate mid-tone colors, but the drawback is that the color changes from batch to batch. It is rarely produced because of the lack of consistency. Name Fumé does not come from the color (there are green and gray fume, but from the technique. The air intake of the Crucible is reduced to the point of smoking (fumo in Italian), this reduced fusing generates new color pallettes, most in the moss and earthy colors. In a way similar to the Japanese raku technique in ceramic. It was easier Pre-war when oven fuel was solid (carbon) or liquid (fuel oil) now that everything is on natural gas almost impossible to attain. Rezzonico is identified by the arm metal pipe being covered by an infinitive nested calla lily shaped cups of glass. Designed by Giuseppe Briati in the 18th century. The name come from the famous Palace on the Grand Canal that has one of the most beautiful. If you are a glass lover its interesting museum not only for the incredible chandelier, don't miss Tiepolo's Pulcinellas frescos and water painting that inspired Fulvio Bianconi. It is considered a full rezzonico when there is not a central stem and the basket holding the arms is held by a cluster of 3 arms connecting to another basket, commonly called Pagoda construction and is the way Briati made these chandelier. With some non lit shades called cimieri (carrying usually flowers and leaves). When instead the arms are in nested cups but the central stem repeats the classico chandeliers it is called mezzo rezzonico. Unknown author. The use of fume might indicate a midcentury period. Ruby color is with mace coloring (clear glass rolled over ruby glass crumbles) I am assigning a safe 1970s but could be an earlier manufacturing.
