The metal frame supports a dense composition of hand-blown and embossed transparent glass circular elements, which generate an elegant floral effect and diffuse a warm and precious light. This specimen is part of the Murano Deco production of the early twentieth century, a period in which Barovier experimented with geometric and floral motifs obtained through molding and innovative techniques for the time.

Some decorative glass elements (about 7-8 pieces) were missing. They were faithfully reconstructed using silicone rubber molds made from the originals and then cast in transparent micro-resin. The intervention, documented photographically, preserved the chandelier's aesthetic and structural integrity while distinguishing the resin inserts from the originals without altering the overall reading. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
