1960s Seguso for Venini Murano Flush Mount with Gold Glass Flowers
Product Description
This exquisite 1960s flush mount ceiling light bears the prestigious dual attribution of Seguso and Venini—two of Murano's most celebrated glassmaking dynasties. The piece features hand-blown glass flowers in luminous gold tones with delicate transparent inclusions, each bloom individually attached to a coordinating metal basket framework. When illuminated, the gold-infused Murano glass creates a warm, honeyed glow that transforms any space into something magical.
The Seguso family has been a leading force in Murano glassmaking since the 1300s, while Venini—founded in 1921—revolutionised modern glass design by pairing master craftsmen with visionary designers. This collaboration piece represents the apex of Italian mid-century lighting: traditional handcraft techniques meeting contemporary design sensibility. Each flower was individually mouth-blown, shaped while molten, and carefully positioned to create the overlapping arrangement that gives this fixture its botanical charm.
Versatility
This 30cm flush mount works beautifully in spaces where ceiling height is limited or where you want elegant lighting without pendant drops. Perfect for hallways, entryways, bedrooms, powder rooms, walk-in closets, or low-ceiling dining areas. The warm gold tones complement brass fixtures, honey-toned woods, cream interiors, and both traditional and contemporary furnishings. Dual functionality allows installation as either a ceiling light or wall sconce, offering flexibility for awkward spaces. The compact 30cm diameter suits smaller rooms without overwhelming, while the gold glass adds luxurious presence. Ideal for creating intimate, flattering ambient lighting in hospitality settings, boutiques, or residential spaces.

Design Information
This flush mount was created in Murano, Italy during the 1960s through a prestigious collaboration between Seguso and Venini, two of the island's most celebrated glassmaking dynasties. Crafted from hand-blown Murano glass with luminous gold inclusions and assembled on a complementary metal framework, each individual flower petal was mouth-blown by master craftsmen and carefully positioned to create the overlapping botanical arrangement. The piece exemplifies the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic while honoring centuries of Venetian glass artistry. The dual attribution to Seguso Vetri d'Arte and Venini makes this fixture highly collectible, as both houses represent the pinnacle of 20th-century Italian glass design—Seguso with their family heritage dating to the 1300s, and Venini with their revolutionary approach to pairing traditional craft with contemporary vision since 1921.
