Item Description
A dramatic multi-tier chandelier composed of dozens of clear prism-cut glass elements suspended from a gilt-toned metal framework. Inspired by the celebrated Murano glass lighting designs popularized by Venini during the mid-20th century, the fixture creates a dazzling interplay of light through its sculptural arrangement of vertically mounted glass prisms. Equally suited to contemporary and traditional interiors, this statement lighting piece evokes the glamour of Italian modern design while providing substantial visual presence.
This chandelier strongly resembles the style of the Italian lighting manufacturer Venini or high-end reproductions inspired by the famous Carlo Scarpa "tronchi" glass chandeliers.
NOTE: This chandelier has been disassembled, prisms protected and boxed. Ready for pickup.

1. Venini (Most Likely Inspiration)
Cascading clear Murano glass prisms ("tronchi" or triedri elements).
- Multi-tier architectural form.
- Brass or gilt metal frame.
- Luxury Italian modernist aesthetic.
- Original examples often command $8,000–$40,000+ depending on size and provenance.
2. Murano Glass Chandelier (Italy)
- Many Murano workshops produced similar designs from the 1960s–1980s.
- Makers include Mazzega, Barovier & Toso, and Seguso Vetri d'Arte.
- Often difficult to distinguish without labels or hardware markings.
3. Contemporary Luxury Reproduction
- Several luxury manufacturers have recreated the Venini look in recent decades.
-If the glass is machine-cut and the frame construction appears newer, it may be a modern reproduction rather than a vintage Murano example.
