Description: Lovely purple glass chandelier (model 5013) designed by Napoleone Martinuzzi for Venini in the late 1920s. Most likely produced in the 1930s this has a four-arm structure with long feathery decorations on the centerpiece. Very nice original condition with a bit of patina. Four E14 sockets, which were replaced at a later date, with new wiring. The silk shades are a later addition and the cuff above the finial was probably replaced as well as it has a slightly different tint.
