This stunning chandelier is a remarkable example of Carlo Nason's iconic lighting designs for Mazzega Murano during the mid-20th century. The piece features an elegant hemispherical form composed of numerous hand-blown clear Murano glass rods, each gracefully curved to form a cascading bowl-like structure. The glass elements are individually mounted to a polished nickel-plated steel frame with an octagonal profile, creating a harmonious blend of transparency and metallic precision.
The chandelier’s refined construction highlights Nason’s innovative approach to form and function, combining sculptural elegance with sophisticated craftsmanship. The clear glass rods subtly reflect and refract light, producing a radiant glow when illuminated. The frame houses multiple sockets that provide even lighting distribution.
Suspended by a polished nickel canopy and chain, the chandelier makes a bold yet refined statement, ideal for modern interiors, entryways, dining rooms, or gallery settings.
