Hallway cage lantern, Murano blown glass, Venice, vintage, 1960s

Typical round lantern of venetian manufacture, entirely handcrafted, mouth-blown. These very trendy lamps are currently called 'venetian cages' or 'cage lamps' inside which the glass takes shape. Its manufacture is carried out by murano master glassmakers without the use of molds. They are embellished with shapes and design lines that elegantly create the characteristic and unique lighting effects. Most of the antique murano lamps date from the early 1960s and 1970s. They exude elegance and sophistication thanks to their soft, spherical shapes and vibrant hues and patterns.
