Seller's Notes:This is a GORGEOUS hand made Italian light fixture using traditional methods from the Murano region. My husband and I had it installed in our Michigan home and then when we moved to NYC, we package it up and have now decided to sell it. The light fixture was only used for 4 years and is in perfect condition, like new. The light fixture is the BLACK striped glass as per the photos. The photo of it in our home was before and after we had wrapped each individual piece. It is truly beautiful, but it deserves to go to a wonderful home where it will be displayed and used. Below is more information about the item. The designer is Manuel Vivian - Born in Venice in 1971, he gained a diploma at the Venice Art Institute and began to design at a very young age, in particular blown glass, thanks also to his family business. Following the success of his first projects in glass, Manuel enlarged his range of interests to various other fields of interior design. Since the creation of Axo Light in 1996, he has collaborated constantly with the company and has become its main designer. Axolight certifies that all glass used in the Aura collection is made and finished one by one, completely by hand, using traditional methods from the Muran area. Each twist of glass has unique qualities compared to the others. Any irregularities are not to be considered defects therefore, but qualities that testify to the artisan nature of the work in all its stages. The Aura collection glass is mixed in its molten state by three successive immersions: first the core is made from Muranos' famous clear, crystal glass, well known for its clarity and freedom from impurities; then the piece is immersed in a pot of molten black glass; finally the piece is immersed once more in the clear crystal class. The glass bulb that is obtained from this method, after being briefly heated, is worked by hand and re-heated. The head glassmaker then takes the semi-molten glass rod and twists it out, with a technique that is as hard to master as it is old. This is the most delicate and refined part of the whole process. Still red hot, the now beautifully twisted and shaped glass rods are left to cool very slowly. After careful selection these rods are then cut, holed and finished by passing a grindstone over the glass four times to ensure a perfect, smooth surface. We have the Certificato Di Garanzia - Guarantee Certificate for the light fixture as well and that will be included in the purchase.
