The combination of vibrant polychrome glass and warm aged brass creates a playful yet sophisticated sculptural presence. Adding to the composition are the substantial glass elements suspended beneath the shades. Made of clear murano glass and enriched with vivid colored trails, they echo the colorful motifs of the upper shades while adding transparency, depth and movement to the overall design. A beautiful example of dino martens’ experimental approach to murano glass and the artistic spirit of aureliano toso during the 1950s. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
