This mid-century pale pink glass chandelier is no exception, created in the style of Ercole Barovier, whose designs continue to inspire and influence glass artists today.

The surface of the glass has a magnificent lattice texture alongside the scrolling central finial. The sphere punctuating the central column utilizes the ‘bullicante’ technique. ‘Bullicante’ is a glass-blowing technique in which the glassmaker intentionally creates and controls bubbles within the glass to form desired patterns. This piece is distinguished by its rosy hue, a rarity in this style, which was achieved by adding selected metal oxides to the silica during melting. To achieve a color like this an incredible amount of accuracy is required in terms of proportions and timing.

Produced in the legendary glass houses of Murano, this chandelier is not just a lighting fixture but a piece of art, reflecting centuries of glassmaking excellence. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship make it an exceptional statement piece that promises to elevate the sophistication of any space it occupies, traditional or contemporary.
