Early, very rare version of a giant Esprit chandelier by Toni Zuccheri, supposedly created between 1966-1970. It’s the icon, the holy grail of flower ball chandeliers and inspired all of the chandeliers that were coming later. All parts including the glass pieces are original from the 1970’s. Each glass element is handmade and of the highest Murano glass quality. It is noteworthy at this point that the glass back in the days was different from modern glass production regarding density, weight and color. Especially for the Esprit chandelier, that is still being produced, the glass makes the difference and is of way better quality. It’s such a rare opportunity to acquire an original clear glass Esprit chandelier from that era, it’s a piece of history and certainly a museum piece. This light in person it literally breathtaking and emanates a truly beautiful light and shine. #venini #veninesprit #tonizucceri #veninizuccheri #espritchandelier
