AMBER MURANO GLASS CHANDELIER | CLKOPS202

Warm amber glass in the mid-century Italian tradition.

A two-tier chandelier built around dozens of hand-blown amber glass discs, mounted to a solid brass ring structure with a central amber bowl diffuser beneath. The design language descends directly from the Italian mid-century lineage — the houses that defined post-war luxury lighting in the 1960s and 70s. Amber was their colour of choice because it does something no other glass tone does: it casts warm light on a room without tinting it, giving an amber glow to skin and fabric while keeping whites reading as whites and wood tones reading true.

The Ambra revives that language for contemporary interiors, built to the same material spec the original houses used: solid brass (not plated), hand-blown Italian glass (not pressed), concealed hardware (not exposed screws). It belongs equally in period-authentic mid-century homes, Italian-inspired contemporary interiors and warm-toned transitional architecture.

Where it belongs

60cm (24"): over a 6-seat round dining table at 9–11ft ceilings; above a 5–6ft kitchen island in a warm or walnut kitchen; a mid-century primary bedroom; a library or study with wood and leather; a smaller formal dining room with honey-toned stone.

80cm (31.5"): over an 8-seat dining table at 10–12ft ceilings — the most-requested size; above an 8ft island; centred in a primary living room; above a billiard table or long bar; a hotel lobby or restaurant with mid-century references.

100cm (39.4"): over a 10–12 seat dining table at 11–14ft ceilings; a great room with walnut floors and stone fireplace; a double-height foyer; a boutique hotel lobby or private club dining room where the amber glow reads as deliberate curation.

About the glass. The discs are hand-blown from Italian glass in the Murano tradition — not pressed, not machine-formed. We say Murano-style rather than Murano as an honest designation: the glass is blown using the traditional Venetian techniques that originated on Murano (amber oxides at the furnace, each disc hand-pulled from the molten glass, every piece individually fired), but our workshop is on the Italian mainland rather than on the island itself. The craftsmanship is identical; what differs is geography — and geography, at this tier, is what separates a $7,000 chandelier from a $14,000 one. The designers who specify at this level verify materials, so we tell you exactly what you're buying: genuinely hand-blown Italian amber glass, made in the Venetian tradition, at the price it deserves. Each disc varies in amber saturation, surface texture and light transmission — matched discs are the mark of machine-pressed glass; varied discs are the mark of real hand-blowing.

About the brass. The frame, chain and all hardware are solid brass — not plated, not coated. At up to 42kg of hand-hung glass, plated hardware would reveal itself as the plating wore under load; solid brass is the only spec that ages without failing. We leave it unlacquered, so over years of use the finish deepens into a warmer, richer patina — what separates a lifetime piece from a disposable one.

Proportioned for serious architecture. Built at the dimensions the original mid-century pieces were: substantial disc diameter, two tiers of glass, and a central bottom bowl that catches and redistributes light downward. The 100cm at 39 inches isn't an oversized reproduction — it's the scale at which this design was always meant to live.

Chain and drop. Solid brass chain, 60cm (23.6") standard, fully customizable — specify your ceiling height at order and we ship to requirement at no additional fee (we've shipped this design to 22ft stairwells on custom 4-metre chain).

The light. Multiple E12 candelabra bulbs illuminate the fixture from within; LED candelabra recommended for lower heat (which protects the amber glass long-term) and longer life. Warm-white LED (2700–3000K) passes through the amber and casts a deeper honey-gold tone — the fixture's signature.
