Eight curved arms extend from a rectangular body, each ending in a flared, softly ribbed Murano glass shade.

When illuminated, they emit a warm, even glow, each one reading as its own point of light, creating a measured rhythm across the form.

The structure is defined by its horizontal emphasis, giving the piece a low, elongated profile. At just over three feet in width, it carries enough scale to anchor a space—well suited above a dining table, in a living room, or as a focal point within an entry.

Murano, the storied island in the Venetian lagoon, has been at the heart of glassmaking for over 700 years. Its artisans shape molten glass through breath and flame, passing techniques from master to apprentice—each piece a quiet echo of that enduring craft.

Condition: Great vintage condition, with a light patina to the brass frame consistent with age. This chandelier was professionally rewired by our team of restorationists. Accepts eight E12 candelabra base light bulbs.
