Six-Light Murano Glass Chandelier with Ribbed Details

This is a mid-to-late 20th-century Murano-style glass chandelier featuring six elegantly curved arms. The fixture is constructed from clear 'pulegoso' or ribbed hand-blown glass, characteristic of Venetian craftsmanship. Its central column is composed of several stacked glass components, including a large downward-facing bell-shaped bowl and a decorative finial at the base. Each of the six s-scroll arms terminates in a wide, shallow fluted glass bobeche that houses a candle-style light socket. Interspersed among the light-bearing arms are decorative shepherd’s crook glass scrolls, some of which feature suspended clear glass teardrop pendants or 'gocce.' The glass exhibits a subtle 'rigadin' (ribbed) texture throughout, which serves to catch and refract light. The metal hardware, visible at the ceiling canopy and the central joinery, appears to be a polished chrome or nickel finish. In terms of condition, the glass appears largely intact with no visible cracks or heavy clouding, though light dust accumulation is present. The style is a contemporary interpretation of classic Rezzonico chandeliers, likely dating between 1970 and 1990. The overall quality suggests high-end artisan production, typical of the Murano tradition on the island of Venice.
