The handcraft behind Murano chandeliers

Are Murano chandeliers made of glass from a special place? Or are they crafted with the help of special techniques? In fact, it's a combination of both. Murano chandeliers are crafted using glass from the renowned Murano region, where skilled artisans, known as maestros, meticulously create each piece.

An endless gem of Italian craftsmanship and aesthetics

In a Murano chandelier, ultra-thin layers of real gold or sterling silver, known as gold leaf or silver leaf, are often added to the glass. Together with special minerals, these elements create the brilliant colors and detailed designs that make each chandelier unique.
Although beautiful chandeliers and crystal are made elsewhere in the world, none carry the same deep history or artistic soul as a handmade Murano chandelier.

Colorful creations with beautiful patterns and colors

Most of these tools were developed in the Middle Ages and both the tools and the glassblowing process have not changed much since then.
This method of glassmaking takes the form of unique and colorful creations with beautiful patterns and shapes.
