Twisted Murano glass frames were all the rage in mid-century design, mastered by the likes of Venini, as exhibited here, as well as Barovier & Toso, Tommaso Barbi, Seguso Viro and more. Murano glass maestros utilized the ancient torciglione technique to create the rich, rope-like effect, and added ribbed brass accents around the top and inner edges. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
