Grand lustre de Murano de type Rezzonico à douze bras

Le verre incolore, rehaussé d'or pâle, se déploie sur deux étages de feuilles effilées, de fleurs épanouies et de pendeloques. Douze bras, formés de sections de verre annelées, descendent en courbe puis remontent vers des bobèches festonnées, en couronne autour d'un fût de boules et de balustres. Chaque bord et chaque cordon renvoient la lumière en reflets miel. Le lustre se lit comme un jardin de verre suspendu, ordonné mais foisonnant. Une chaîne dorée le retient au plafond.

Giuseppe Briati, après avoir travaillé dans un atelier de verre de Bohême, monte à Murano le premier atelier spécialisé dans le lustre. Vers le milieu du XVIIIe siècle naît de ses mains le lustre à vingt flammes que conserve le musée de Ca' Rezzonico, en cristal de Murano et pâtes de verre polychromes, parvenu intact jusqu'à nous. Selon les maisons de Murano, cette pièce a donné son nom au style Rezzonico, toujours produit, dont les bras se composent de nombreuses petites pièces de verre. Daté du XXe siècle, cet exemplaire n'est rattaché à aucun atelier ni à une date plus précise.

Read in English

Colourless glass, touched with pale gold, unfolds over two tiers of slender leaves, open flowers and drops. Twelve arms, built of ringed sections of glass, curve down and rise again towards scalloped drip pans, set in a crown around a stem of spheres and balusters. Every edge and every cord returns the light in honeyed reflections. The chandelier reads like a suspended garden of glass, ordered yet abundant. A gilt chain holds it from the ceiling.

Giuseppe Briati, after working in a Bohemian glass workshop, set up the first Murano workshop devoted to the chandelier. Around the middle of the eighteenth century he made the twenty-flame chandelier kept at the Ca' Rezzonico museum, in Murano crystal and polychrome glass pastes, which has come down intact. According to the Murano houses, this piece gave its name to the Rezzonico style, still produced today, whose arms are built of many small pieces of glass. Dated to the twentieth century, this example is linked to no workshop and to no more precise date.
