Classic style chandelier crystal RIYADH - Making a highly dramatic impact, the family of Riyadh chandeliers recalls rich royal dwellings and Moorish styles: thousands of gilded reflections generated by particles of gold leaf embedded in the crystal are further reflected on the transparent pendants, creating an inimitable light effect. The metallic parts are gilded.

Barovier&Toso Museum is located on the top floor of the Palazzo Contarini in Murano, a XVI-century building whose most recent incarnation is that of the world HQ of Barovier&Toso. Some 250 objects are on display in the museum, all of these drawn either from the private collection of Angelo Barovier of that of the Barovier&Toso company.

In addition to the artifacts, the Barovier&Toso Museum makes accessible a vast archive containing photos, drawings and other documents collected over an extended period. Examples include over 22,000 original drawings by Ercole Barovier, a number of catalogues featuring photographs of glass objects, the originals of the traditional "libretti delle composizioni" which provided glassmakers with the necessary ingredients for making glass, as well as a number of other items that testify to the tradition of manufacturing and artistic creation during the period under examination.
