Mid-Century Hand-Blown Rose Murano Glass Florets Chandelier by Barovier & Toso

Ethereal and enchanting, this mid-century Murano glass chandelier by the legendary Italian workshop Barovier & Toso transforms lighting into an art form. Crafted circa 1960, the chandelier is a breathtaking example of the artistry and technical mastery that made Murano glass a global symbol of luxury and refinement.

Suspended like a luminous bouquet, the chandelier is adorned with meticulously hand-blown rose-colored florets, each showcasing unparalleled craftsmanship. The glass blossoms, delicate and intricate, are arranged in a cascade of organic beauty, their soft rosy hue radiating a warmth that feels both romantic and timeless. Every floret is a testament to the unparalleled skill of the Venetian glassmakers, who combined centuries-old techniques with mid-century modernist design sensibilities to create a piece that feels both historic and extraordinarily fresh.

Barovier & Toso, one of Murano’s most revered glassworks, has been at the forefront of Venetian glassmaking since the 13th century. This chandelier is not only a reflection of their long-standing legacy but also of the mid-century era’s embrace of bold yet elegant forms and the desire to bring art into everyday life. The piece seamlessly bridges tradition and modernity, turning functional lighting into an experiential centerpiece.

This chandelier doesn’t just illuminate—it transforms spaces into atmospheres of refined beauty. Whether placed in a dining room, entryway, or gallery-like setting, it exudes a sense of artisanal luxury that is impossible to replicate. A true collector’s treasure, it embodies the enduring allure of Murano glass and the visionary spirit of mid-century Italian design. Newly rewired to American Standards, with height that can be adjusted to suit, this chandelier accommodates three candelabra base bulbs achieving up to 180 watts of light. Excellent vintage condition.
