This magnificent set, in the Florentine bouquet style, is attributed to the renowned designer Paolo Venini (Venini Murano/Venice) and comprises a monumental, three-light chandelier and two perfectly matched wall sconces. Each of the textured, clear blossoms was handcrafted from heavy Murano crystal glass using traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques. The high-gloss chrome-plated grid allows for individual arrangement of the glass elements. A spectacular centerpiece with breathtaking, diamond-like play of light, ideal for discerning high-end galleries and collectors.

Condition

The set is in excellent, clean vintage condition with a magnificent, impressive effect in any room. The heavy chrome frame shines beautifully with a reflective gleam. The opulent glass flower pendants possess exceptional brilliance.

Declared with complete honesty and transparency:

The chrome-plated housing of the wall lamps has a very slight, age-related patina, which lends the ensemble its authentic vintage character.

One of the flower petals on a wall lamp has a minimal, superficial flea bite/damage (see the last detail photo), which remains completely invisible within the dense overall appearance of the lush floral display and in no way detracts from the aesthetics.

Note: As this is a vintage light fixture, for safety reasons, it is strongly recommended that the electrical system be inspected by a qualified electrician before installation and use. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
