Let yourself be enchanted by a great opportunity among my offerings: a splendid pair of twin Murano glass chandeliers from the 1920s and 1930s, crafted by the prestigious Pauly glassworks. These masterpieces are crafted in the refined "cristallo" color—a term that, in the ancient Murano tradition, indicates the purest and most absolute transparency—capable of reflecting light with unparalleled intensity.

The architecture of these pieces is a tribute to Venetian glassmaking. The upper crest features a breathtaking double decoration composed of eight flowers and sixteen leaves (eight high and eight low) with tassels at the ends. The lower section reflects this ornamental richness, creating a perfect balance. The true hallmark of the master glassblower lies in the eight twisted arms, embellished with the typical "papaore" and pontello cups, an ancient technique that attests to their authenticity and historical value.

Measuring 130 cm tall and 90 cm in diameter, this pair of chandeliers is destined to dominate state rooms or high-profile dining rooms, conveying the prestige of the historic Venetian furnaces of the early twentieth century. An investment in the timeless art of the lagoon.
