Spectacular chandelier in Murano glass, large size, designed by Barovier & Toso, model "Redon". Made in the middle of the last century, it has a complex structure; It is configured in a central metal stem covered by blown glass, characteristic of the artisanal tradition of Murano. Its design is organized into several levels, three in this case. The two levels closest to the ceiling are decorative, as they have large pointed glass oriented both upwards and downwards. These large crystals are reminiscent of the whip lines of Art Nouveau, thanks to the curves of their ends and their striated finish. from the lowest level, closest to the ground, come the ten arms or lights. These curved arms support the light points, which rest on glass lampshades with a striated finish as well. The use of transparent glass and the staggered composition generate great visual impact; In addition, the silver metal details contrast with the lightness of the glass. It is a design by the company Barovier & Toso, which combines the tradition of Murano glass with a very decorative functional structure.
