Brass and Murano Glass Pendant by Barovier & Toso, 1930s

Creator: Barovier & Toso
Offered by: After Midnight

Description
This Art Deco pendant light was produced by Barovier & Toso in Murano. It features a vertical brass suspension rod accented by a central twisted glass sleeve, leading to an oval brass frame. The frame supports two curved, twisted glass rods and a central light housed in a textured "rugiada" glass shade with ruffled edges. The design reflects the refined transition between traditional Venetian glassmaking and modern industrial aesthetics of the 1930s.
