Exceptional pendant chandelier, designed by Barovier & Toso around 1930. This masterpiece showcases the transition from the ornate "Liberty" style to the geometric elegance of the Italian Art Deco era, featuring the iconic iridescent glass finish that made the atelier world-famous. The chandelier is characterized by a central, voluminous bowl shade crafted from thick, hand-blown Murano glass. The surface is adorned with a sophisticated vertical ribbed texture (a costolature), which creates a mesmerizing play of light and shadow. The most striking feature is the iridescent treatment (iridato), a complex chemical process where metallic oxides are applied to the hot glass, resulting in a shimmering, pearl-like luster that shifts in color with the viewing angle. The long, elegant stem is equally impressive, composed of hand-worked glass sleeves that mimic the organic, textured appearance of a crystalline vine, leading to a matching iridescent ceiling canopy.
