Know before you buy
Reticello is a traditional Venetian glassmaking technique that creates a delicate, net-like pattern of crisscrossing lines within the glass. Because of this intricate structure, the light is softly diffused, creating a warm, ambient glow rather than a harsh, direct beam.
Yes, its flush mount design and compact 5.5-inch height make it an excellent choice for rooms with lower ceilings where a hanging pendant would feel too intrusive. It provides a clean, streamlined look while still offering a significant design statement.
Yes, you can use a standard base LED bulb as long as it fits the Edison bulb socket. We recommend choosing a warm-toned LED filament bulb to best complement the vintage aesthetic and the warm glow of the Murano glass.
To preserve the glass, gently dust it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If a deeper clean is needed, use a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth—never spray directly onto the fixture—and be careful to avoid getting liquid inside the brass and steel hardware.
The metal components are original to the 1960s design and may have developed a natural patina over time. We recommend leaving the finish as-is to maintain its vintage character, but you can lightly buff the metal with a soft, dry cloth if you notice any surface dust.
