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 number of enthusiasts 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.

There are many different styles characterizing antique furniture, but a few key ones stand out. 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 English 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 century, inspired by Napoleon’s reign. They feature significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek ornamentation.

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

Today, we can observe how strongly the Baroque style influenced modern classical furniture, which is often designed with a strong resemblance to 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 massive, using dark stains, moldings, sturdy bases, and relief decorations. These were quite distinctive products, but they also opened new possibilities, such as the construction of cabinets and broadly speaking, chest furniture. Mythology and ancient times were also sources of inspiration, with supports and legs often taking animal forms.

Lion paws, eagle heads—these are common motifs in Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands reproduce furniture inspired by Italian and French artisans, paying homage to and preserving the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It’s important to remember that each country had its own perception of furniture production, giving each style a unique character. This is especially important when seeking a luxurious antique piece that fits your interior.

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