Mid Century Italian Poliedri Chandelier in Cristallo by Carlo Scarpa for Venini

An exceptional Mid Century Italian Poliedri chandelier attributed to Carlo Scarpa for Venini, executed in clear Cristallo glass. Composed of numerous hand-cast textured glass elements suspended from a nickel-plated metal frame, the chandelier demonstrates the refined geometric elegance and architectural sensibility for which Scarpa's lighting designs have become internationally celebrated.

Each individual glass element features a sculptural faceted form with a distinctive organic surface texture, creating remarkable depth and luminosity when illuminated. The arrangement forms a dramatic floating volume, with light refracting through the thick Murano glass to produce a rich interplay of transparency, shadow, and reflection.

A highly sought-after example of Italian Murano lighting from the post-war period, this chandelier embodies the sophisticated craftsmanship and innovative design language that established Venini as one of the most influential glassmakers of the twentieth century.
