Venini glass chandelier

The chandelier in the image is a refined example of the iconic design of Venini, the famous Venetian manufacturer of artistic glass. It is a cascade model, composed of numerous transparent glass prisms arranged on several decreasing levels, which create a scenographic and elegant effect.

Distinctive features:
• Structure: the central body is in gilded brass, with a coordinated chain that connects the chandelier to the ceiling.
• Prisms: the pendants are made of Murano glass, cut in an elongated rectangular shape and arranged in concentric circles, creating an inverted pyramid silhouette.
• Style: traceable to mid-century Italian design, very popular between the 1950s and 1970s.
• Visual effect: the light refracts through the glass prisms, producing brilliant and sophisticated reflections, characteristic of Venini creations.
