Each glass rod, crafted with the skill and artistry synonymous with Venini, adds a textural brilliance that enhances its aesthetic impact. This piece is equipped with eight lights, providing ample illumination while serving as an eye-catching focal point. An adjustable chain allows you to customize the chandelier’s height, making it versatile for various ceiling heights and room configurations. Whether installed in a grand entryway, dining room, or modern living space, this chandelier adds an element of luxury and artistic flair. Ready to place and enjoy, this piece is perfect for collectors and those seeking a statement-making fixture that merges Italian craftsmanship with modernist design. Complete with 2 additional sculpted Murano glass rods.
