Today we want to talk about Murano Glass chandeliers.
Nowadays, it is possible to find “Murano chandeliers” online for as little as €400. But how is that possible?
When we started our company almost 20 years ago, we were among the very first businesses selling authentic Murano Glass online. Over the years, our handcrafted creations — made with passion, care and attention to detail — have illuminated thousands of homes and prestigious locations around the world! We created chandeliers for the
Vatican City,
luxury restaurants, hotels,
universities and many private residences around the world.
Throughout the years, we have faced strong and healthy competition that pushed us to improve continuously and create increasingly refined and contemporary works. Unfortunately, unfair competition also appeared over time.
Today, many websites offer “Murano chandeliers” at extremely low prices. However, producing an authentic handmade Murano chandelier involves significant craftsmanship, high-quality materials, skilled glass masters and strict environmental standards. In many cases, the selling price of these cheap products does not even cover the real production costs.
A genuine Murano Glass chandelier cannot be mass-produced at industrial prices.
Behind every authentic creation there are costs related to artisanal manufacturing, ecological waste disposal, water purification systems, emissions control, safety regulations and years of experience passed down through generations of Murano glass masters.
This is why we strongly believe that many ultra-cheap chandeliers are not produced in Murano — and often not even in Italy.
Respect for the environment has always been one of our core values. Our mission is not only to preserve the ancient art of Murano glassmaking, but also to protect the knowledge and traditions of our glass masters while offering our customers honesty, authenticity and true artistic value.
Understanding the techniques used to create a Murano chandelier is very important. In future articles, we will explain the different production methods and the details that distinguish a high-quality handmade chandelier from lower-quality imitations. Our goal is to help customers make informed and conscious choices.
Competition is important because it encourages growth and innovation. Every one of our
Murano chandeliers, as well as all our creations, is made with passion, respect for tradition, attention to quality and care for the people who choose us.
This is who we are.
Thank you,
Alessandro Carrara,
MGS CEO.
