A Touch of Italy: Murano Glass Chandeliers

"The Murano Chandelier (1920) is made with a glass-forging technique developed to amplify flickering candlelight in the 17th century. Produced on the island of Murano, it represents the grandeur of centuries-old craftsmanship. Dramatic in its scale, color and delicate filigree, the design is a reproduction of a Venetian-style chandelier, with scrolling leaf and flower motifs. Due to the artisan craftsmanship that goes into each chandelier, some of the joints will show clear pieces of glass" (www.stardust.com)

Glass chandeliers are a great way to bring in the elegance and opulence of the traditional chandelier but with a sleek and modern twist. They come in all sorts of beautiful colors as shown below.  I love the concept of placing one of these beautiful art pieces in a modern space.

The semi-transparent nature of this aquamarine chandelier gives the fixture a light-weight and whimsical feeling unlike many of the traditional chandeliers that are more heavy in nature.



Murano glass chandeliers not only come in a variety of colors but also come in many different styles ranging from very traditional in designs to more modern and even abstract.  

Most all are handmade creating a slight variance in each chandelier, making each fixture unique. 

Whatever size or style you decide, the Murano Glass Chandelier will draw attention and bring focus into any room.
