Elegant Venetian chandelier from 1920, made of blown glass

Deco chandelier in Venetian nut color. In good condition, this elegant Venetian chandelier dates from around 1920, made of blown glass in nut color with a delicate smoky tint, featuring six curved arms topped with upward-facing crowns and E14 lamp holders with a maximum power of 360 Watts; it has been fully electrified.

The simplicity of the shapes and the minimal decorative elements, reduced to just six pastoral arms with oval glass drops in the upper part of this elegant Murano glass chandelier, make it particularly striking. All glass surfaces are finished with fine ribbing.

In the past, two of the six cups were modified. One cup has a minor chip on the edge, see photographic details. The height refers to the chandelier's base, excluding the chain.

Beautiful antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for interior decoration. Currently, there is a growing appreciation for high-quality vintage items that possess a distinct character and soul. This is a nod to history, craftsmanship, and the design of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its own distinctive features.

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but a few are particularly notable. Eclectic furniture originates from the 19th century, during the reign of the Biedermeier style. Its early 20th-century variants include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis-Philippe style, and the Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles evolved into pseudo-classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque styles.

Empire-style furniture and accessories date from the late 18th to early 19th centuries, inspired by Napoleon’s reign, with strong influences from Roman and Greek ornamentation.

Neoclassical furniture, associated with Louis XVI, also draws heavily from ancient architecture. Interesting and noteworthy are antique products in Rococo and Louis XV styles. The Baroque style, derived from the Portuguese word 'barocco'—meaning an irregularly developed pearl—features highly ornate furniture designed to exude splendor and luxury. Materials were selectively used to emphasize the grandeur of these pieces.

Today, we can see how much the Baroque style influenced modern classical furniture, which often resembles the historical period. The Renaissance style, flourishing in the 15th and 16th centuries, also left a significant mark on furniture design. Renaissance furniture was quite heavy and robust, often finished with brown stains, moldings, strong bases, and relief decorations. These were quite distinctive products, but they opened new possibilities, such as the construction of credenzas and broadly defined chest furniture. Mythology and ancient times also inspired these designs, with supports and legs taking animal forms.

Lion paws and eagle heads are common motifs in Renaissance style. Many global brands now recreate furniture inspired by Italian and French artisans, demonstrating admiration and respect for the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It’s important to remember that furniture styles varied by country, each with its own character. This is especially relevant when searching for a luxurious antique that suits your interior.

The key aspect of elite antique furniture is originality. This is ultimately crucial for buyers, as many counterfeits circulate on the market.
