Genuine Murano glass and Trading Descriptions

It’s important to realize that the term Murano when applied to chandelier and glass can be merely descriptive and only indicating the type or style of glassblowing or the coloration of the glass rather than being genuinely from the island itself, near Venice. Some of the more typical Murano blown glass ornament and lighting designs frequently include floral motifs of a somewhat tubular shape.  They often have a unique curvature and glass coloration that is readily identifiable or attributable to the Murano artisans’ traditional craftsmanship. A genuine Murano glass chandelier or lighting product is really a work of art with a price to match.  Murano styled glass products also look good and may be a great addition to your home.  It is probably fair to say that products purchased from reputable on-line lighting wholesalers will reflect a fair price relative to the quality of the product. They will also no doubt highlight the fact that this product is an original from Murano, if that is the case. Otherwise they are merely using a trading description that people recognize.

Murano Chandeliers are to be Noticed

In keeping with their history, the genuine Murano crystal chandeliers are currently made by artisans truly gifted in terms of technique. The results are chandeliers that are not shy in their uniqueness or modest in their beauty. Murano chandeliers demand attention, quite often with striking colors and sudden curves. The viewer is challenged to take these works of art as seriously as the artisan who constructed them. Psychologists, interior designers as well as experts in the ancient science and art of Feng Shui say that the first thing people notice when walking into a room is the chandelier (if one is present). One can easily believe this to be the case as you examine that eye-catching beauty of the Murano glass.

Crystal glass has been imported from Murano since 1291. This means Murano guilds and manufacturers have been making lasting artistic impressions for centuries.  Since 1291, Murano chandeliers and other Murano glass products have been placed in thousands of homes and etched into millions of memories.  It is their use of metals and oxides added to the molten glass that  creates those spectacular colors, the most expensive being the beautiful ruby red caused by using gold additives! Once you have seen an authentic chandelier from the “Glass Island,” you will remember it for a lifetime. In fact, Murano glass chandeliers have been remembered for many lifetimes.
