Toni Zuccheri for Venini Murano Corteccia Glass Chandelier 1960s.

Creator: Venini
Offered by: Venfield

Description
One of the three glass designs Toni Zuccheri created for Venini, corteccia or bark glass was impressed with a pattern resembling the gnarald surface of tree bark. Not only was the abstract pattern visualy interesting, it served to hide the lightbulbs and to a greater extent it diffused the direct light the bulbs emitted. Corteccia was usually found on tubular or ribbon shaped glass so the pieces would resmeble branches or strips of bark. Whats special about the corteccia glass in this chandelier is that the glass pieces are tile shaped and thicker than the tube or ribbon glass usually used. The thicker glass results in a more visual deeply impressed pattern with greater diffusing ability.

Venfield currently has a pair of the five tiered corteccia glass chandliers with white powder coated steel frames. Each has 10 sockets fit E26 torpedo shaped bulbs. Both are currently display in our NYC Showroom . Priced & sold individually.
