Flavio Poli Sommerso Chandelier for Seguso, circa 1960

Description: Gorgeous Flavio Poli cascading chandelier for Seguso with three unusually large ‚Sommerso‘ glass shades. Sommerso (lit. „submerged“ in Italian), or „sunken glasses“, is a form of artistic Murano glass that typically has two layers of contrasting colors, which are formed by dipping a gather of colored glass into another molten glass and then blowing the gather into the desired shape.
Each of the glass bodies measures 25 cm in height and has a width of 10cm. Very good original condition with one original brass and ceramic E14 socket per glass with textile wiring. The canopy with three arms is gold-plated.
