Metal Discs for Murano Chandeliers | A Solid Base for Their Beauty

• Metal discs and brackets are essential components for ensuring the structural stability of Murano glass chandeliers, both during restoration and in new installations. Their role is crucial: they securely support the arms, the central stage, the suspension chains, and all the blown glass parts that compose the chandelier. Replacing old wooden discs with metal ones is one of the most requested operations today, both for safety reasons and to preserve the value of the craftsmanship.

The main reason artisans, collectors, and private individuals choose metal discs is their greater mechanical resistance. Over time, wood can warp, crack, or sag, putting the entire suspended structure at risk. Metal, on the other hand, guarantees consistent load-bearing capacity, long-term stability, and greater weight-bearing capacity, especially in historic or monumental chandeliers.

Each disc is produced with holes and thicknesses perfectly calibrated to the original components of the Venetian chandelier. This allows the damaged part to be replaced without altering the overall aesthetic: the result is invisible to the eye, but guarantees a significant improvement in reliability. The metal brackets also ensure the correct alignment of the arms, avoiding dangerous tilts or imbalances.

The most popular solutions fall into two categories: standard models and custom-made discs/brackets based on the chandelier's diameter, central hole, number of arms, and placement of decorative elements. Custom-made solutions also allow for work on antique or particularly complex chandeliers, ensuring a perfect fit.

These components are essential for:

– conservative restoration of classic Venetian chandeliers
– transformation of chandeliers into a modern electrified version
– rapid replacement of damaged wooden supports
– safety measures before installations in public spaces
– protection of the economic value of artistic chandeliers
