Barovier & Toso Murano Glass and Bronze Chandelier 1940

Creator: Barovier, Toso & Ferro
Offered by: Maison Cedric

Description
Since its roots began in the year 1295, Barovier and Toso, famous glassmaking firm of the island of Murano near Venice, Italy, has long prided itself on painstaking blown glass work that embodies the slow-moving, poetic spirit of the island. This unique Art Deco bell shaped chandelier produced in the 1940s, possesses that vision in its beautiful crystal-clear ripples and playful, organic shape. Beautifully inlaid bronze accents similarly feel earthy, each accent distinct, as though it was plucked straight from a metallic deposit in the earth. To place this chandelier in your home, in a corridor, above a dining table, or right in your primary entryway, would be to bring the enlightened, centuries old appreciation for hand blown glass craftsmanship into your contemporary day to day world. The chandelier has been fully cleaned, newly electrified, and is found in an amazing condition.
