Midcentury Venetian Scavo Glass Candlestick Documented by Karl Springer
-
Description
Designed by Karl Springer, this candlestick was handmade by the artisans at Seguso, circa 1985. Springer, who reinvigorated classical design with bold proportions and exotic materials, partnered with Seguso, the storied Murano glass manufacturer, to produce a series of updated, hand blown glass pieces based on traditional Venetian precedents. This candlestick has a hemispherical amber glass base, a clear glass column, and a stepped amber glass capital. The surface of the glass has been etched using the scavo technique, which mimics the eroded and iridescent appearance of ancient glass. Elegant and refined, this candlestick will make a compelling addition to any tabletop. These appear documented in the Karl Springer catalogue.
