Antique Italian Murano Crystal Chandelier, Silvered Bronze, Venice, circa 1900–1920
This elegant antique Italian crystal chandelier, created around 1900–1920, was most likely produced in the Venice / Murano region, renowned for its exceptional glassmaking tradition.
The chandelier features a beautifully silvered metal frame adorned with numerous hand-cut crystal prisms, impressive baroque pendants and a magnificent faceted central crystal column. One of its most distinctive characteristics is the series of original blue glass connectors incorporated into the crystal swags—an attractive detail often found on fine Italian chandeliers from this period.
