Murano Reticello glass chandelier by Carlo Scarpa for Venini, 40s









This elegant suspension lamp, attributed to Carlo Scarpa for Venini, dates back to the 1940s and embodies the harmonious encounter between the Muranese glass art and the essentiality of the architectural design. The spherical diffuser is handmade with the sophisticated reticello technique, which weaves two series of blown glass rods in opposite directions, creating a refined network design. The result is an ethereal and delicate texture, which softens the light with extraordinary elegance. The support and the glossy brass rose window offer a hot and material contrast to the lightness of the glass, enhancing the sculptural aspect of the composition. A rare and suggestive piece, ideal for refined environments, collectors and Italian artistic glass enthusiasts. Dimensions: Globe diameter: 25 cm Total height: 100 cm Conditions: Excellent vintage conditions. Professionally fall back. Minimal signs of time consistent with age.
