Item--See Description See more about 'Art Deco Napoleone Martinuzzi Venini Glass Chandelier' Description Art Deco Napoleone Martinuzzi Venini Glass Chandelier (Click to Enlarge) This wonderful amber colored glass chandelier is a work by the noted Venini artist, Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892-1977). Measures 30" wide by 37" tall. Wiring is intact and we believe it to be in working condition. Ceramic bulb sockets appear to be original, and there is no evidence of any repairs or restorations anywhere on the piece. Recently purchased at minor estate sale, we know very little of its history. Only known hallmark is the stamped mark of the metalworking company that provided the framework for the piece. Additional images forwarded upon request. Two very similar works by Martinuzzi can be found in plates 12 and 13 of the Venini Catalogue Raisonne 1921-1986 by Anna Venini Diaz de Santillana. (Please see photos below.) Plate 12 is a work in amber glass like our chandelier and is described as a "Glass Drop Chandelier, 1926-1930, Gardone Riviera, Prioria, Bagno Blu cat. no. 23." (Gardone Riviera is a health resort on the Italian coast, famous for the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio's monumental villa, Il Vittoriale degli Italiani, also known as Prioria. Thus, the reference to Prioria suggests the piece was either commissioned by the poet for the estate or it's simply a statement of provenance.) Martinuzzi was Art Director of Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Venini & C. from 1925 to 1931.jjj italian italia italy venice venetian murano paolo venini We're an eBay Registered Trading Assistant who can sell your items for you.
