This stunning Mid-Century Modernist Hand-Blown Murano Glass Six Arm Chandelier W/Filigree Detailing & Oil Rubbed Bronze Fittings by Barovier & … more This stunning Mid-Century Modernist Hand-Blown Murano Glass Six Arm Chandelier W/Filigree Detailing & Oil Rubbed Bronze Fittings by Barovier & Toso originates from Italy, Circa 1950. This chandelier features a classical form with understated elements, all of which feature remarkable detailing and precise execution of materials. With six curvilinear glass arms expanding from a central oil rubbed bronze housing, each of the six arms curve upwards featuring rounded shades with filigree detailing, a timeless technique in Murano glass art which in this instance creates a precise geometric weave of white glass within transparent glass. From the central housing which holds the arms of the chandelier, a rod of glass rises with a fluted detail and a canopy rendered in glass with matching filigree detailing. A bold and materially exquisite fixture, this piece serves as an incredible example of the quality of Barovier & Toso, and the materials and design motifs of Mid-Century Modernism. This piece will style well in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. Newly rewired to American Standards, this piece accommodates six Edison base bulbs achieving up to 600 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
