2000’s Yellow Filigrana Murano Glass Photo Frame by Venini

Reference : cad-4412

This beautiful vertical photo frame is purely in the vénitien glass manufacturing tradition. The technique used to get this rich optical effect is called filigrana and requires high skilled makers.

This photo frame features yellow-green Murano glass in a very lively color, overlayed with crystal by Venini, Murano. Thin yellow and white lines twist around the crystal glass frame like very thin threads.

“Filigrana’ is a traditional technique, which started in the 16th century. This technique requires very skilled makers. They use long glass rods which they superimpose, intertwine and fuse. Each rod is wrapped around a glass cylinder and blown into shape. At the end of this operation, the glass master has to keep each line of color separate, with same thickness and curvature around the glass, as quick as he can before temperature drops.

The result of this technique is almost hypnotic as it produces an effect of perfect twisted net.

It is signed on brass support back.

It could match with vintage, classic, art deco, mid century or contemporary interiors and would be perfect to adorn your bookcases, your consoles, your shelves or your chests…

It could be displaid by itself or with more similar frames in other colors.

Moreover, it would be a great idea of gift…
