{"product_id":"barovier-toso-chandelier-with-petals-in-crystal-glass","title":"Barovier \u0026 Toso Chandelier with Petals in Crystal Glass","description":"Barovier\u0026amp;Toso, chandelier, crystal glass, nickel-plated brass, Italy, 1940s \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDating from the 1940s, this Barovier \u0026amp; Toso chandelier has the presence of a piece of jewelery suspended in space. Its long rectangular framework in nickel-plated brass provides a refined, architectural base, while the crystal glass elements bring softness, light and movement to the composition. Each leaf-shaped piece is delicately textured, catching and refracting the light so that the chandelier seems to shimmer even when viewed in stillness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contrast between the strict geometry of the metal frame and the organic character of the glass is what gives the design much of its charm. The leaves appear to unfold along the length of the chandelier, creating a sense of botanical growth, while the small hanging glass drops add a final note of delicacy. Even the suspension rod is enriched with twisted and sculpted glass, turning the structural elements into part of the ornament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1295 on the island of Murano (Venice, Italy), where it remains based today, the studio is dedicated to preserving and innovating the art of blown glass. Barovier\u0026amp;Toso’s creations are unique works, crafted from Venetian mouth-blown crystal and meticulously shaped by master artisans in Murano. These artisans uphold a centuries-old tradition, passed down through generations. In 1455, Angelo Barovier was granted an exclusive decree by the Republic of Venice to produce “Cristallo Veneziano” (Venetian Crystal), cementing the studio’s legacy in glassmaking history.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54297799524695,"sku":null,"price":13904.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119228_St_P_10.jpg?v=1786280099","url":"https:\/\/www.morentz.com\/en-gb\/products\/barovier-toso-chandelier-with-petals-in-crystal-glass","provider":"Morentz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
