About the Item
Mid-Century Murano Silvered
Clear Glass Drop Chandelier, Attributed to Venini, Italy, circa 1960s
A sculptural and highly refined Italian mid-century chandelier composed of hand-blown Murano glass pendant drops, each formed with a silvered interior core cased in clear crystal, suspended from a polished chrome architectural frame. The chandelier is organized around a central cylindrical column and circular canopy, from which evenly spaced chrome rods descend to support the elongated teardrop pendants, creating a rhythmic, cascading effect.
The silvered glass technique—one of Murano’s most technically demanding processes—produces a mirrored, liquid-metal interior that reflects and diffuses light while maintaining transparency and depth. When illuminated, the drops emit a warm, shimmering glow, balancing opulence with the restraint characteristic of Italian modernism. The elongated proportions and substantial gathers at the base of each drop indicate skilled free-blown craftsmanship rather than mold production.
The minimalist chrome armature reflects post-war architectural lighting trends, while the dramatic glass elements anchor the piece firmly in the tradition of Venetian luxury glassmaking. Comparable chandeliers were produced in Murano during the 1950s–1960s for high-end residential and commercial interiors, where sculptural lighting served as a focal point within otherwise streamlined spaces.
This chandelier is particularly versatile in scale and impact, suitable for an entry hall, dining area, stairwell, or intimate living space, where its vertical composition and reflective surfaces can be fully appreciated.
Dimensions:
33 inches high × 18 inches diameter
Condition:
Very good vintage condition, with light surface wear to the chrome consistent with age and use. All glass drops are present and intact. Rewired for contemporary use.
A striking and elegant example of mid-century Murano lighting, offering both sculptural presence and refined craftsmanship.
