Classic style chandelier Murano glass DEGAS

Classic style chandelier Murano glass DEGAS - This slender chandelier takes its name from one of the most famous Impressionists, and took its place in the Veneziani catalogue several years ago. The gold version, especially designed for the Gold collection, renders it highly elegant. There are four versions, with 6, 9, 12 or 18 lights, as well as a wall light with two lights.

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.

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.
