Pair of Mid-Century Large Muted Citrine Calza Glass Chandeliers signed Venini

This exquisite pair of chandeliers, crafted in the 1960s by the legendary Venetian glassmakers Venini, represents the pinnacle of Mid-Century Modernist design. With their muted and gradient citrine hues and impeccable craftsmanship, these chandeliers are an elegant blend of sophistication and artistic innovation. Each chandelier is composed of meticulously crafted Calza glass elements, a distinct technique characterized by textured surfaces and gently tapered cylindrical forms that lend the chandeliers a sculptural, dynamic quality. When illuminated, the glass refracts light beautifully, casting a warm glow that creates an inviting and luxurious ambiance.

The muted citrine tones of the glass are perfectly balanced, offering warmth without overpowering, making these chandeliers well-suited to a range of refined interior styles. Their proportions are balanced to draw attention with a lovely vertically oriented composition. Whether suspended in a formal dining room, a grand foyer, or a sophisticated living area, they serve not only as light fixtures but as statement pieces that embody artistic mastery and refined elegance.

Signed by Venini, a hallmark of authenticity and heritage, these chandeliers echo the unparalleled legacy of one of Murano’s most renowned glassmakers. The craftsmanship and innovation evident in these pieces are emblematic of Venini’s storied reputation for excellence, ensuring their value not only as functional décor but as true works of art.

A rare offering from a historic era of design, they make an ideal acquisition for collectors of fine art and design and add undeniable sophistication to the most discerning interiors. Their presence transforms a room, marrying high-end Italian craftsmanship with the timeless allure of Mid-Century Modernism. With heights that can be adjusted to suit, these chandeliers are newly rewired to American Standards, accommodating three edison base bulbs each achieving up to 300 watts of light.
