Chandelier Antique
In the distant past chandeliers were so scarce and expensive that a few could only afford them.
Today, there are so many different styles of spiders at all levels of prices that is easy to get overwhelmed by all the options!
The right choice of a spider is extremely important because it is one of the most important details of interior design. So, people who care about the look and feel of their home and want to create a warm and friendly environment often seek a single one-of-spider, just as a chandelier that can be found in Murano, Italy.
Murano Island, north of Venice, Italy, is a famous center of glassmaking world that has been the home of the glass producers since the thirteenth century. All manufacturers of glass was moved to this island of Venice in 1291 as a result of dangerous fires that endangered wooden structures in much of Venice. These days, all major producers of Murano glass is still based on small island and maintain the traditions of ancient glassmaking.
Murano glass lighting are fully handmade in the ancient traditions of the craft using the same techniques and tools that were used by craftsmen centuries ago. So when you’re buying a chandelier Murano, it is not simply buying an object that was made to light a room, you’re actually buying a one-of-a-kind piece of history that has been created by master craftsmen with care and passion. Murano glass is very high quality and certainly one of the best types of glass art in the world, so when you buy a lamp of Murano chandelier, you can be sure you are buying the best.
If you happen to be looking for a Murano chandelier, there are many things to consider before buying one. First, if you’re not buying a chandelier in Murano physically, make sure you’re dealing with a seller that carries only authentic Murano glass. For that you need to know if the seller or manufacturer of the spiders are members of the Consortium Promovetro – the only organization of the Venetian glass industry that promotes authentic Murano glass against the multitude of counterfeits and fakes available in the world today.
Here is quoting from the website of the Consortium, “which represents more than 70 industrial buildings and businesses in Murano and Venice. Since its inception, Promovetro has worked hard to promote the image of Murano’s artistic glass with the stated purpose of preserving, safeguarding and protection of Murano’ s thousand years antique art glass, and at the same time to promote, develop and assist in the proper marketing of this important cultural heritage in the world. ”
Second, decide on a style you like, the size and number of lamps you need. Murano glass lamps come in many classic designs that vary little from the old Venetian palaces pieces hanging in art deco or modern, with clean lines and bright colors. Usually due to its handmade nature, each lamp can be further customized to your needs in terms of colors and number of lamps. Note that the artisans of Murano can create anything from small wall sconces and simple to large and complex concert hall pieces.
Third, consider price ranges spider for the styles you want and definitely do your research to make sure you are getting a good deal. A quick search online will bring several results that not only allows you to locate online retailers selling a Murano chandelier, but also allow you to explore the various compare styles and prices. Just keep in mind that you need to always ensure authenticity, as counterfeiting of parts from China and elsewhere outside Venice will cost much less than the real thing. If you can not buy in Murano, which are usually better to go with a direct importer than a reseller who not only has limited knowledge of market and products, but also often charge a higher price and add additional charges to your order.
Finally but not least to consider when going to placement. A Murano chandelier is not just a lamp, but a beautiful work of art with a rich history. It is a treasure which, if placed right, will create a special atmosphere in your home or office. Hanging on a formal entry on a dining table or living room are some of the options, but keep in mind it needs to function well with the rest of the decor and color scheme.
While there is a multitude of spiders in the market today, there nothing like a Murano glass chandelier. The unique design, incredible wealth, combined with perfect skill and passion that is dedicated to making these beautiful pieces of art is unparalleled in the world.
