An Italian Multi-Color Murano Glass 8-arm Chandelier, C. 1985.

Offered by: 2220 Antiques

Description
A vibrant example of late 20th-century Murano craftsmanship, this hand-blown glass chandelier features a central turned shaft adorned with six upward-facing tulip-shaped glass elements. These crown the piece above a cascade of downswept glass leaves, adding fluidity and organic motion to the design.

Eight gracefully curved arms radiate from the lower portion of the shaft, each ending in a single light socket. These arms are also embellished with larger downswept leaves, reinforcing the botanical theme. The glass is rendered in a multi-color palette, showcasing the lively and intricate color mixing typical of Murano artisans.

Missing one glass petal. Arms are metal but painted to look like glass. Recently rewired.
