This stunning and vibrant modernist tronchi chandelier was handblown in Murano, Italy- the island off the coast of Venice renowned for centuries for its superlative glass production. It features an abundance of tronchi crystals in a Clear and Amber translucent Murano glass. The tronchi crystal represents a classic and iconic design element in Murano glass blowing traditions dating back to the 1950s. Its archetypal form is distinguished by its cylindrical form with scalloped top and bottom, as well as its raised sides and sculptural sensibility. The crystals also exhibit a subtle striated texture testifying to their handblown composition. Here, the classic tronchi has been reinvented in a sophisticated seven tier cascading look. The shades of color both reference the chandelier's Mid Century history, and also updates it, making it a winning choice for practically any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. The chandelier is presented on a polished chrome chain and canopy, which offers a beautiful tonal counterpoint to the glass color. The height can be adjusted to suit. The chandelier is in excellent condition and has been newly rewired to American standards. It accommodates 15 edison based bulbs offering up to 1500 watts of light.
