Made with hand-blown so called “calza” amber and clear glass tubes, these chandeliers reflect the sophisticated craftsmanship that made murano glass world-famous. At the time, this distinctive italian glass design was highly sought after, admired for its elegance and timeless appeal.

each chandelier features a meticulously crafted metal frame, from which different-sized glass tubes are suspended at varying levels, creating a beautifully asymmetrical and dynamic composition. A unique detail is the delicate metal chains running through the glass tubes, adding both structure and a refined decorative element. At the center of each piece, two e27 light sockets provide a perfectly balanced illumination, casting a warm and inviting glow that enhances any space.

these chandeliers are particularly special as a matching pair—an uncommon find due to the handcrafted nature of murano glass. Since they were never mass-produced and were often custom-made upon request, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. While they share the same design, subtle differences between the two highlight their artisanal origins, adding to their charm and authenticity.

both chandeliers remain in excellent condition, with all glass elements intact—free of cracks, chips, or visible damage. They are easy to wall-mount and install, making them an effortless yet striking addition to any sophisticated interior. Whether displayed in a grand living space, dining room, or high-end commercial setting, these exquisite murano chandeliers embody the perfect fusion of mid-century italian luxury and masterful craftsmanship.
