Mid-Century Venini Reticello Glass Chandelier, 8 Arms, Murano, Italy 1940s

A striking eight-arm chandelier by Venini, featuring hand-blown Murano glass shades in the celebrated reticello technique — a delicate crisscross lattice pattern achieved by fusing two layers of glass with trapped air bubbles between fine threads of white and clear glass. Each dome-shaped shade sits atop a graceful curved brass arm, radiating from a central patinated brass spine. This chandelier is in good vintage condition overall. The glass shades are in perfect condition, with the reticello pattern crisp, clear, and free of chips or cracks. The brass shows a warm, attractive patina consistent with age, adding character and authenticity to the piece.
