Created by Lorin Marsh, the chandelier combines classical inspiration with modernist sensibilities, resulting in a piece that exudes refinement and sophistication. Its hand-blown amethyst glass is the centerpiece, radiating a soft, regal glow that transforms any interior space.

The chandelier’s classical form—with its graceful curves and balanced proportions—hints at traditional Venetian design while remaining firmly rooted in modern aesthetics. The rich amethyst hue imbues the piece with a sense of luxury, and the transparency of the glass allows light to dance through it, creating subtle shifts in color and shadow. Each glass element has been rendered with precision, demonstrating the unparalleled skill of Murano artisans and their ability to combine form with function.

Suspended from a sleek and minimalist frame, the chandelier balances the old-world charm of Murano glassmaking with a streamlined, modernist presentation. Ideal for adding drama and elegance to dining rooms, entryways, or living spaces, this Lorin Marsh chandelier is more than a light fixture—it is an artwork that celebrates the fusion of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary design. Newly rewired to American Standards, this chandelier accommodates 12 Candelabra Base Bulbs achieving up to 720 Watts of light. With height that can be adjusted to suit, this piece is in Excellent Vintage Condition.
