Seguso Murano, chandelier, Murano glass, nickel-plated metal, chromed steel, Italy, circa 1930
The Seguso lineage stands as one of Murano island's most venerable families, with a history deeply embedded in Venetian Glass craftsmanship dating back to 1397. They have risen to prominence as leading authorities in the production of artistic masterpieces and bespoke furnishings. Seguso's master glassmakers have produced exquisite pieces for royal households and prominent business empires globally. Notably, in 1605, the Seguso name was enshrined in Murano's "Libro d’Oro," a prestigious register that acknowledged distinguished glassmaking families and conferred upon them a noble status.
The present chandelier, dating back to approximately 1930, exudes unmistakable elegance with meticulous attention to craftsmanship and a refined appearance. The design features a central rod descending from the ceiling mount, which is detailed with the characteristic swirl from Murano glass gracefully encircling the stem down its length. The main body consists of a horizontal beam that support six glass cups. Each shade is designed with a distinctive white striped drawing, providing a soft diffusion of light. The cups are arranged in two parallel rows of three, each supported by loops made from transparent Murano glass showcasing splendid lines. The glass loops and cups are held in place by nickel accents that connect them to the supportive structure. The overall design blends Art Deco influences with modernist touches, exemplifying the craftsmanship and artistic flair of Murano glasswork from the 1930s.
