… Read more Spectacular Italian chandelier in Murano glass, composed of a multitude of long, cascading, prismatic crystal glass rods of varying heights.

The particularly elegant and sculptural composition forms a dynamic and airy silhouette, characteristic of the great Italian glass design of the second half of the 20th century by Venini, and especially of his compositions using Triedri-type prismatic elements, developed from the late 1950s onward.

The highly transparent glass elements offer magnificent plays of light and reflections when illuminated. The chandelier has a silver/chrome-plated frame.

The warm reflections visible in the photographs are solely due to the lighting.

A truly beautiful, monumental, and rare piece.

Italy, circa 1960-1970.
