Italian Art Deco Murano Glass Basket Pendant Attributed to Barovier & Toso, 1930s

$4,400.00

A rare Art Deco Murano glass pendant attributed to the esteemed Barovier & Toso atelier in the 1930s. The ruffled shade, crafted from clear, textured glass, glistens like frozen lace—its organic, rippling form shaped entirely by hand. Framed by a gracefully twisted glass loop and suspended from a twisted brass stem with a matching glass canopy, this piece emits a luminous, ambient warmth that feels both ethereal and inviting.

The Barovier dynasty traces its roots to 1295, when Jacobello Barovier, a master glassblower, began transforming molten sand and minerals into incandescent works of art. For centuries, the family maintained its legacy, crafting exquisite glass pieces until the mid-20th century, when it merged with another renowned glassworks to become Barovier & Toso. This evolution reflects a commitment to artistry and tradition that endures to this day.
