Venetian Murano Glass Chandeliers for Sale
A Carnival of Colour, Straight from the Canals of Venice
Let’s talk drama. Let’s talk glass. Let’s talk Venetian Murano glass chandeliers—the kind that don’t just light a room, they perform in it!
Our collection of antique and vintage Murano chandeliers is a joyful explosion of colour and craftsmanship, hand-blown on the legendary glass-making island of Murano, just off the coast of Venice. These pieces are not your average lighting fixtures. They are artful, theatrical, and wildly charming—part chandelier, part candy shop, part Venetian opera.
A Brief History of Murano Glass Magic
The story begins in the 13th century, when the Venetian Republic—keen to protect its glassblowing secrets (and, let’s be honest, the rest of Venice from fire hazards)—moved all glass production to the island of Murano. There, a community of master artisans developed techniques so refined and imaginative, they remain unmatched to this day.
By the 18th century, Murano glass chandeliers had become the ultimate symbol of European elegance—gracing palaces, ballrooms, and salons with their graceful arms, delicate floral details, and glowing glass.
Mid-Century Charm with a Sweet Tooth
While we love the early Baroque-style Murano chandeliers, we have a particular soft spot for the candy-coloured creations of the early to mid-20th century. These mid-century marvels are the fun cousins of their more formal ancestors—featuring bright pastels, glass daisies, curling leaves, and playful twists of colour.
Whether in pale pink and pistachio or vibrant citrus tones, these chandeliers make any room feel like a film set from a dreamy Italian summer. They’re flamboyant, fabulous, and unapologetically joyful.
A Little Joke for the Ladies...
Let’s be honest—most men don’t “get” Murano chandeliers at first. We’ve seen it all: the squinting, the raised eyebrows, the whispered “but it’s pink?” We’ve even had a few half-divorces in the middle of our store (they usually don’t last longer than ten minutes).
But—and this is important—once that glorious chandelier is up and casting its magical glow across the room, they fall just as hard. Suddenly, it’s “wow, that really ties the room together” and “I actually love it”.
Let’s just say: loving a Murano chandelier is often interior designer level unlocked. And once you’re there, there’s no going back.
Yes, OMG - They Work in the U.S.!!!
Our Murano chandeliers are fully rewired and feature universal wiring for both European and U.S. voltages (110–240V). With E14 sockets, all you need are 110V-compatible bulbs (easy to find online or at U.S. lighting stores), and you’re good to glow. As always, we recommend having them installed by a licensed electrician—because safety should always be as stylish as your ceiling.
From opulent 19th-century pieces to cheeky 1950s candy-coloured showstoppers, our Murano glass chandeliers are the crown jewels of any room.
