This fixture is rewired to meet US electrical standards and takes four base light bulbs. Each light bulb can use up to a maximum of sixty watts. We recommend using LED lights because they help preserve the antique fixture longer. Antique chandeliers/fixtures may have to be adapted to modern houses. Please check with your electrician or contractor for additional specifics on installing antique chandeliers/fixtures. It requires a canopy and chain that are not included. There is a repaired fracture to one of the Murano shades (see image). It had another repaired fracture on one of the stems (see image). It also has a minuscule chip to the bottom finial (see image). All this is unnoticeable. It is intact and absolutely stunning. This fixture will require special handling and shipping by a white glove professional experienced in dismantling, packaging, and reassembling Murano chandeliers upon installation. 20 lbs.

Using an ancient technique to transform simple silica sand into dramatic works of opalescent glass, these Italian artists handcrafted each piece to be wholly unique. This particular chandelier, formed in an unusual and opulent purple, was produced in the early twentieth century. The delicate, sweeping curves of glass that shape the arms are a testament to the masterful Italian taste and technique, including especially the finer, finlike details that texture the piece. The discerning eye should also appreciate the decorative floral touches adorning this stunning fixture: the four shades are subtly formed to resemble drooping flower heads while a smaller, more delicate set of glass daisies rise from the base. The overall effect evokes an exquisite sense of flowers blossoming, an Italian springtime beautifully captured in colored glass. Admirers of glasswork and the stylistic vision of the 1910s will appreciate the striking allure this chandelier confers to any elegant entryway or dining area. less
