Receiving a new shipment from France is pretty much my favorite time at the gallery. We're so busy bringing in pieces, taking pictures, putting them up on the site... it can get a little crazy!
But the very best of all... the Murano chandeliers! No matter how many times I see them do it, I am always amazed to watch Jean-Noel and Jean-Marc assemble these intricate glass chandeliers.
A table of Murano leaves and branches is intimidating. Knowing that every single piece was hand blown to be placed just so on the chandelier is mind boggling...
To think, all these little (very breakable) pieces traveled over the ocean all the way from Venice, Italy, to be put together right before my eyes! I have to say, Jean-Noel is fearless climbing that twelve foot ladder and placing piece after piece of hand blown glass in place...
While Jean-Noel was placing that chandelier, Jean-Marc was busy hanging leaf after leaf on this contemporary Murano piece...
Looking at the finished product it's easy to be wowed. Watching these Murano glass chandeliers come together little by little makes me have a greater respect for the beauty of the chandelier... and also for Jean-Marc and Jean-Noel's willingness to balance on a twelve foot ladder with one-of-a-kind pieces of Italian glass!!
