This gorgeous handcrafted gold-infused opaline Murano chandelier demonstrates a delicate Baroque-style design still loved by many. This piece has four flexing arms holding bobeches with petal-shaped trim. The milky opaline glass veers towards a light blue and pink color with elusive changes in the light. Twirling leaves embellish this glass chandelier, sprouting from the small bulbous center column. The piece has further detailing of scroll stems and rigaree trim; exhibiting a masterful flair in glass craftsmanship.
The glasshouses on the island of Murano are famous for highly ornamented glass chandeliers created by the inflation of molten glass followed by cutting, pincering, and other rapidly executed decorations and details. The body and arms of this piece are made of opaline Venetian glass enhanced with 24-carat gold leaf. Opaline glass is typically made bluish-white by the addition of Calcium phosphate (bone ash) and opalescent by the addition of fluorides. The golden details are concentrated in the leaves and trim which compliment the shifting opalescent hues.
This chandelier evokes the splendor of the past centuries through delicate decorations, refined craftsmanship, and an elegant structure. A splendid combination of opaline glass and glimmering gold, distinguished by a subtle rainbow of colors. An example of refinement and ethereal beauty, this chandelier is truly captivating and elevates any interior with a touch of the natural world.
