A Murano Glass Chandelier for You  –  In the Finest of Italian Design and Quality

Choosing Murano Glass Ensures Class, Style, and Uniqueness

A Murano glass chandelier is made of fine crystal glass crafted on the island that shares its name. The Venetian island of Murano, or “Glass Island,” as it is commonly known, has manufactured and exported some of the world’s most memorable glass artistry. Dating back to the 12th century, Murano’s glassmakers obtained a level of esteem among artisans, craftsman, and dignitaries. Currently, Murano glassmakers are presently maintaining this level of respect and reverence through continued quality in craftsmanship, technique, and design. Such is the intricacy of their forging and glass-blowing that they create unique and translucent jewel-like masterpieces of frondy, filigree motifs and blossoming floral designs in the deepest of sapphire blues and ruby red colors – so spectacular and an absolute joy to own and behold.

Perfection in the Eye-Glass of the Beholder?
And don’t be fooled or disappointed if you see small blemishes and imperfections in the joints of the separately formed, differently colored shapes. These are the signs of their ability to approach the perfection of their art. The shortfall of that unobtainable perfection guarantees the individuality of each hand made work of art!

What to Expect from a Murano Chandelier
Murano glass chandeliers stay true to the Murano style of glassmaking, with bold designs and techniques that are extremely sophisticated. Such bold displays of technical virtuosity, whether modern, contemporary or classical, demand attention. The Murano style is to capture the eye and lead it on a journey. Like any good journey, the viewer’s eyes can get happily lost along the way, taking in every twist, turn, and curve of the road. Again, each time you lay your eyes on a Murano chandelier, you can be certain that you will experience a delicately curving nuance here, a refractive hi-light there that had not been seen before, thus opening a new adventure for your eyes. Or was it a trick of the eye; a trick of the light; or the trick of the creator? There one finds the true magic of this Treasure Island located but a few pebble skims from Venice.

Reflecting on The Apex of Italian Artistry and Culture
There are many Italian glass chandelier forgers to choose from. However, the most revered of these makers, and quite possibly of the entire world, are the glass-blowers from Murano. Steeped in a rich history illuminated with impeccable quality standards with unique flair and technique, chandeliers made from Murano glass have long been the guiding beacon for all others. For centuries, Murano’s glassmakers’ guild has set the highest standard for its craft, thus commanding respect from peers, critics and customers alike.
