The beauty of classical Murano glass chandeliers has adorned homes for centuries, altered only by the addition of electric light bulbs. The chandeliers are handblown and colored in the same artisan tradition developed in the island of Murano hundreds of years ago. Glass blowers pass their techniques and secrets from master to apprentice, keeping the precious skill alive, while also introducing new colors and trends. The intricately detailed Murano Glass Chandelier derives its inspiration from pieces popular in Venice during the 17^th century. Finely detailed but not over fussy, this lamp is a welcome complement to modern interiors. The transparent red glass adds bold color and passion to an environment. Solid black glass is formal and sophisticated. These spectacular works of art can be hung in an entry, dining room, living room or bedroom providing shimmering light and a striking focal point. Each piece is individually handcrafted so natural variations in color, size and shape are inherent. Professional installation recommended. Uses standard candelabra 40w / 120v incandescent bulbs (not included). Made in Murano, Italy.
