Exceptional Italian Art Deco Chandelier with Murano Filigrana Glass

Chandelier, brass, Murano glass, Italy, circa 1930

An extraordinary Italian chandelier from the early 1930s, combining the elegance of Art Deco with the refined craftsmanship of Murano glassmaking. The sculptural silhouette is simply breathtaking, a rare design where every curve feels perfectly balanced. The sweeping hand blown glass arms and luminous bowl shaped shades create an incredibly elegant and architectural presence.

The shades are executed in exquisite Murano filigrana glass, a traditional Venetian technique in which delicate white latticino canes are fused into clear blown glass, creating the mesmerizing linear pattern throughout. The beautifully elongated central rod is enriched with finely detailed Murano glass accents in a subtle diamond pattern, adding another layer of refinement and craftsmanship to the design.
