A "Ca' Rezzonico" chandelier is always something extraordinary to admire. This chandelier is even more so because of its harmonious proportions and the graceful colors that make it a rare jewel to behold.
The chandelier has six lights, supported by three elegant and distinctive spiral "tiracche".
In the central part, there is the "garden" with a fascinating composition of polychrome flowers and "crystalline" leaves pulled with pliers.
The "cups", placed at the end of each arm, have a "cabochon" workmanship to increase the brightness, in this case, of the light bulb. Originally they were used to collect wax and tallow from candles.
A chandelier of exquisite workmanship, which adapts to any environment, modern or antique, large or small.
Electrical system up to standard.
Venice, early 20th century ca.

Notes
The "Ca' Rezzonico" type chandeliers date back to the early 18th century and take their name from the noble Venetian family Rezzonico who commissioned them from the Murano glass masters. In particular for the Palace "Ca' Rezzonico" which housed them. Their shape made it possible to admire the ceilings frescoed by Giambattista Tiepolo. They are distinguished by their beauty and complexity, their realization requires great experience, manual skill and months of work by the Murano glass masters to make them. All the glass parts of the chandelier are blown and shaped.
They have a complex metal structure, especially in this chandelier, also made by hand, which acts as the skeleton of the chandelier which will then be covered with hundreds of glass "bushes" that insinuate one into the other.
