Mid-Century Modernist Hand-Blown Ultramarine Murano Glass Splash Form Pendant

Offered by: High Style Deco

Description
A striking representation of Italian modernist design, this hand-blown Murano glass pendant chandelier showcases breathtaking splash-form glass shades, rendered in deep ultramarine blue and transparent glass with a dazzling mottled texture. Crafted in Murano, Italy, during the 1960s, the piece encapsulates the era’s avant-garde approach to lighting design, blending innovative forms with bold coloration. The vibrant ultramarine glass creates a sense of motion and fluidity frozen in time.

Complementing the dramatic glasswork, chrome fittings add a sleek, industrial edge to the chandelier. The juxtaposition of the glossy chrome against the blue glass emphasizes the piece’s modernist aesthetic, where materials and contrasts play an essential role in the beauty and elegance of the fixture. Whether suspended as the centerpiece of a room or integrated into a curated interior design scheme, this chandelier makes an undeniably bold statement.

This splash-form chandelier, with its daring form, vivid color, and refined chrome accents, is not just a lighting solution but a historical gem of mid-century Italian design. It remains a testament to the ability of Murano artisans to merge artistry with function, elevating interiors with their sculptural creations that continue to inspire collectors and design enthusiasts alike. A brilliant example of Mid-Century Modernist design sensibilities, this chandelier will style beautifully into a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Eclectic Interiors. With height that can be adjusted to suit, this piece is newly rewired to American Standards and accommodates three candelabra base bulbs achieving up to 180 watts of light.
