Italian Murano Glass Six-Arm Chandelier with Seahorse Motifs, circa 1900

Creator: Barovier & Toso
Offered by: After Midnight

Description
A rare Murano glass six-arm chandelier featuring highly detailed sculptural seahorses, attributed to Barovier & Toso. The central column is composed of spiraled glass leading to a spherical body adorned with four seahorse figures crafted with gold leaf inclusions and pink glass tongues. Six splayed, twisted glass arms terminate in petaled bobeches. The craftsmanship represents the transition into the Art Nouveau period, utilizing traditional Venetian glass-blowing techniques to create complex aquatic forms.
