Vittorio Zecchin — Twelve-armed chandelier
Vittorio Zecchin

Twelve-armed chandelier

A breathtaking twelve-armed chandelier by Venetian artist Vittorio Zecchin, crafted from richly coloured and clear glass with a delicate metal framework of aluminium, nickel-plated brass, and brass. The piece exemplifies the refined elegance of early twentieth-century Murano glassmaking, with its gracefully extending arms supporting ornate glass elements that catch and refract light in jewel-like hues. Zecchin's mastery of the decorative arts is evident in the harmonious balance between the luminous glass and the precisely worked metalwork.
