Barovier & Toso, pendant light, Murano glass, gold leaf, brass, Italy, 1940s
This pendant light by Barovier & Toso, produced in Italy during the 1940s, demonstrates the workshop’s mastery of Murano glassmaking in its purest form. Entirely executed in clear ribbed Murano glass, the design is articulated around a vertically fluted stem that supports an elongated, tapering shade with a finely scalloped rim. The precise ribbing of the glass animates the surface and softly diffuses the light, creating a refined interplay of transparency and luminosity.
Founded 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&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.
