Elegant Venetian chandelier from 1920, made of blown glass

Deco chandelier in Venetian walnut color. In good condition, this elegant Venetian chandelier dates from around 1920, made of blown glass in walnut color with a delicate smoked 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 creation 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 dates back to 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 originate from the late 18th to early 19th centuries, influenced by Napoleon’s reign, with strong references to Roman and Greek ornamentation.

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

Today, we can see how much the Baroque style has influenced modern classic furniture, which often resembles the grandeur of the past. 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, using dark stains, cornices, strong bases, and reliefs. These were quite distinctive products, but they also introduced new possibilities, such as the construction of credenzas and broadly defined chest furniture. Mythology and ancient times inspired these designs, with supports and legs often taking animal forms.

Lion paws, eagle heads—these are common motifs in Renaissance style. Many global brands now reproduce furniture inspired by Italian and French creators, paying homage to the beauty of Renaissance antiques. It’s important to remember that each country had its own approach to furniture making, giving each style a unique character. This is especially important when searching for luxurious antique pieces suited to your interior.

The key aspect of elite antique furniture is originality. Ultimately, this matters most to buyers, as the market is flooded with counterfeits.
