Murano Glass Blue and White Opaline Chandelier

This is a multi-point Murano glass chandelier, likely originating from Venice, Italy, dating to the mid-to-late 20th century. The fixture is crafted using traditional hand-blown glass techniques, featuring a striking combination of white opaline glass and transluscent sky-blue glass accents. The central column and various 'S-shaped' arms are fashioned from ribbed white glass, while the decorative elements consist of intricately formed glass rosettes and ruffled bobeches in a matching blue hue. Notable features include the delicate 'rigadin' (ribbed) texture on the glass arms and the crimped edges of the decorative flowers, showcasing high-quality Italian craftsmanship. The chandelier is mounted against a decorative white plaster ceiling medallion. Regarding condition, the glass appears bright and well-maintained, though minor surface dust is visible. Close inspection suggests typical minor signs of age; one of the blue glass petals appears to have a slight structural inconsistency common in handmade glass. There are no immediate signs of large cracks or previous professional repairs visible from this angle. The wiring appears integrated, though its internal age cannot be confirmed. This style is consistent with the 'Rezzonico' influence, often associated with makers like Murano Mazzega or Seguso, though no maker's mark is visible in the provided image.
