What is Murano? Murano is a beautiful island of Italy that
can be reached by a ten minute boat ride from Venice. Murano is known for its
elite group of glassmakers. Its artisans have been supplying the world with
quality glass products since as far back as the 12th century.
Murano chandeliers
are no exception, the uniqueness and hand-made quality is unmatched to this day.
Originally the art of " Venetian Glass " originated in Venice, Italy.
However, in the year 1291 the glass industry was moved to the island of Murano
because of the fire danger created by the combination of old wood buildings in
Venice and the actual process of creating the glass.
Shimmer Lighting is proud to offer a large selection of

chandeliers also have matching wall sconces. Each Murano chandelier is crafted

production phase of the glass. The colors are rich and vibrant and portray true
art in every piece. The same is true for the chandeliers made with gold
decoration, where the gold is blown into the glass, not painted on.
