Murano-Style Cast Glass · 3-Tier Tronchi Cascade · China Mid-Century
A three-tier cascade chandelier in the Murano tronchi tradition — graduated tiers of hand-cast cylindrical glass tubes hung in dense rows around a central armature, the ranked tubes reading as a single column of frosted glass when lit. The tronchi silhouette is one of the period-defining vocabularies of mid-century China Vetreria production.
Drawn from the 1960s–70s China Murano-style cascade chandelier vocabulary of Mazzega and Vistosi-era studios. Suited to formal dining rooms, primary entry foyers, two-story foyers, and great-room interiors in 5,000+ sq ft estates and luxury hotels — for design-led clients drawn to the China mid-century cast-glass vocabulary in transitional, Hollywood Regency, and modern interiors. Available in four finish variants.

Please Note — Variation & Lead Time
Hand-cast Murano-style glass — every fixture is unique. Tube length, glass tone, and minor bubble inclusions vary; your fixture will not match the photos at the tube level.
Colored-glass variants ship in approximately 30 days. Red Cloud and Yellow tones are made-to-order; please confirm your timeline before ordering. White variants ship from in-stock.
Reinforced ceiling support recommended. Approx. 20–35 kg (45–75 lbs) — your electrician should anchor to a joist or use a code-rated fixture brace.

Installation
- Licensed electrician required. Hardwired ceiling pendant via supplied canopy plate and chain.
- Specialist installer recommended — tronchi tubes are individually hung and can shift during un-crating; handle by armature, never by individual tubes.
- Confirm ceiling support — 20–35 kg approaches standard junction-box rating; code-rated fixture brace or joist anchor recommended.
- Hang the lower edge 30–34″ above the dining table, or 7 ft+ above the floor in foyer walking zones.
- Bulbs supplied by installer. Clear candle LEDs at 2700K — clear envelope reads best through cast-glass tronchi tubes.

FAQ
What size dining table or room does it suit +
The Ø 26″ frame suits dining tables 42–60″ long — typical of seating for 4 to 6. Chandelier diameter should sit between half and two-thirds of dining-table width. For primary foyers it suits 9–12 ft ceilings; for two-story foyers, longer chain is available on request. Hang the lower edge 30–34″ above the dining table top.
Which finish should I choose +
Nickel & White is the most versatile — works across most US interiors, modern through transitional. Copper & White reads warmer for brass-and-walnut palettes. Copper & Red Cloud is the boldest variant — for jewel-tone dining rooms, Hollywood Regency, and statement entry foyers. Nickel & Yellow pairs warm amber glass with cool nickel armature — versatile for mid-century and transitional interiors. Note colored-glass variants (Red Cloud, Yellow) are made-to-order with 30-day lead time.
How heavy is it and what ceiling support do I need +
Approximately 20–35 kg (45–75 lbs) assembled — at or above standard residential junction-box rating (≈ 25 kg / 55 lbs). Your electrician should install a code-rated fixture brace or anchor to a structural joist. Contact us for confirmed shipping weight before installation.
What bulbs should I use +
Candelabra-base candle bulbs, supplied by your installer. We recommend clear-envelope candle LEDs at 2700K warm white, ≤ 25W incandescent-equivalent. Clear glass reads best through the cast-glass tronchi tubes — frosted bulbs flatten the period-correct cascading-light effect. Bulb count is confirmed on the spec sheet.
Is it dimmable Lutron-compatible +
Standard wiring is non-dimming. TRIAC-dimmable wiring is available as a custom build — please specify when contacting us before ordering. Compatible with Lutron Caséta, Diva, and forward-phase wall dimmers when paired with dimmable LED candelabra bulbs.
What's the lead time Custom & trade +
White variants ship in-stock; Red Cloud and Yellow colored-glass variants are made-to-order with approximately 30-day lead time. Custom builds: alternative chain length, alternative glass tones (purple, blue), and matched-tone batch orders for project quantities available on request. Hospitality-grade construction suits luxury hotel suites, restaurant private dining, and China mid-century or Hollywood Regency residential projects. Contact our trade desk for project-quantity coordination at the earliest project stage.
