A hand forged blue glass chandelier made by Venini, the stem bearing four tiers of attenuated styalised leaves of graduated length. The lower tier with leaves and out swept branches terminating in electrified bell-shaped drops. Stamped ‘VENINI 2069’.
The Venini Factory was founded in Murano in 1921; a collaboration between antique dealer Giacomo Cappellin and Paolo Venini, a Milan based lawyer though from a family with long tradition of glass-making. The partnership divided in 1925 and V.S.M. Venini & C. was created. The company enjoyed increasing acclaim throughout the ensuing decades.
