This Baroque-style, floral opaline Murano chandelier has five lovely scroll arms holding flower-form bobeches. These bobeches of milky opaline also have a soft blue–lilac fire, showing vertical optic ribbing created with the rigadin method. They are finished with a crimped, ruffled petal lopped rim crested in applied pink.
In the 16th century, opaline glass was made from the calcium phosphate coming from the calcination of bone. But it is also made from phosphate rock.
The pink color was achieved by adding selected chemical compounds to the silica during melting. To achieve the color, an incredible amount of accuracy is required in terms of proportions and timings.
This piece is a vintage interpretation of the ‘Ca’Rezzonico’ style, originally crafted by Giuseppe Briati in the 1730s. The opulent blend of colors and intricate design creates a captivating floral centerpiece, enhancing any interior with its enchanting bouquet of light.
Such Murano masterpieces require a high level of skill and experience, which is one of the many reasons this design has traveled through time.
Dimensions without canopy and chain: H=27 in. W=28 in. D=28 in. 15 lbs.

Rewired for USA, uses 4 base-size lights, incandescent or LED. Three feet of electrical wire at the top can be adjusted to the preferred length. This fixture requires a canopy and chain, which is not included. Entirely handcrafted through complex glassblowing, each piece features unique variations. The flowers on the body and finial have spots where the petal edges are sharp as a result of the technique used when being crafted. Be careful not to cut yourself when handling. A flower on the body and finial has inconspicuous fractures with 50% floss on the petals. One of the flowers on an arm ring is slightly different from the others, but it is almost unnoticeable. See images for reference. There are no cracks or repairs. Ships dismantled. Dimensions without canopy and chain: H=27 in. W=28 in. D=28 in. 15 lbs.
