Description
The Archimede Seguso Artistic Glassware was founded in Murano in 1946 by Archimede Seguso (1909 – 1999), the greatest glass master of the 1900s, after leaving the family factory. From the 1950s onwards, he “conquered” Italy with his chandeliers and with the new processing techniques he invented, such as “lace” and “feathers”. His wonderful creations are exhibited in museums all over the world: Metropolitan in New York, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Ca’ Pesaro in Venice, Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid, and many others.
