REFINED MURANO CHANDELIER WITH 16 LIGHTS AND PENDANTS

In the 1960s, "Bohemian" chandeliers became widespread, characterized by metal frames covered in glass and "strass" (small lead crystal with very bright, faceted cuts). These are undoubtedly glass artifacts with a great scenic effect, but they lack the personalized form of Murano chandeliers. Murano glassmakers countered by creating the so-called "chandeliers with pendants." This type of chandelier is characterized by blown and worked "torchon" type arms with cups and pendants ground to create a "luster" effect. The glass remains "soda," meaning lead-free but with characteristics similar to Bohemian glass. They created very compact shapes and, while maintaining the right proportions, managed to create the effect of good brilliance. Around the 1970s, Murano saw a decisive return to the more classic Venetian chandeliers. Murano - ca. 1960 Measurements: height cm. 100 width cm. 80
