A breathtaking statement in blown glass and gilded metal, this Palmette ceiling light commands a room with the quiet authority of fine Italian craftsmanship. Four cascading tiers hold 160 individually hand-blown Murano glass pieces, a combination of elongated palmette leaves (10.25 inches each) and spherical balls (7.10 inches diameter) , all in a luminous turquoise that shifts from sea-green to aquamarine depending on the light.

Each glass element is shaped using traditional Murano blowing techniques, preserving the subtle irregularities and depth of color that distinguish true artisan glass from its imitations. The supporting structure is finished in warm gold-toned metal, creating a harmonious dialogue between the richness of the frame and the cool translucence of the glass.

Dating to the late 20th century, this chandelier reflects the enduring tradition of Murano glassmaking at its most decorative and exuberant, a form that has graced Venetian palaces and grand interiors for centuries.
