About Mazzega 1946
Mazzega 1946 is the continuation of the historic A.V. Mazzega glassworks, founded on Murano in 1946 and now trading under the Mazzega 1946 name. It blows and works Murano glass into chandeliers, pendants, sconces, ceiling lights and table and floor lamps, working with outside designers on contemporary pieces and producing custom work for projects. It is specified by hospitality groups and architects on high-end residential and hotel work.

What you get for the money
Luxury tier. What the money buys is genuine hand-blown and hand-worked Murano glass produced to the rules of the Murano tradition, with the piece-to-piece variation that implies, plus a custom program used on international projects. This is made-to-order work, not stock, so specification decisions - glass color, arm count, dimensions, drop - are made at order rather than picked from a shelf.
Where it gets used
Hotel lobbies, ballrooms and restaurants, private residences with double-height entries and formal dining rooms, yachts, and embassy and institutional interiors. The company's own project portfolio shows work in Qatar, Singapore, London and Morocco, which is the profile of client this brand serves. Large custom chandeliers for stairwells and atria are the signature application.
Specifying notes
Hand-blown glass varies between pieces by nature; if a project needs multiple matching fixtures, order them together as one production run rather than in phases. Confirm US electrical listing, voltage and lamping for every item, as Italian decorative production is not automatically supplied to US listing standards without being specified that way. Custom dimensions, glass color and arm configurations are the norm here, so build the factory lead time into the construction schedule from the start.
How it compares
| Barovier & Toso | The other major Murano house with a comparable archive and custom program; similar tier. |
|---|---|
| Venini | Murano glass with a stronger design-collaboration and art-object emphasis. |
| Terzani | Italian luxury decorative but working in metal chain, glass and crystal rather than blown Murano glass. |
| Schonbek | Crystal rather than glass, more traditional chandelier forms, and available in stock configurations. |
Common questions about Mazzega 1946
Is Mazzega 1946 real Murano glass?
Yes. The company states its products are manufactured respecting the rules of the Murano glass tradition, continuing the glassworks founded on Murano in 1946.
Who represents Mazzega 1946 in South Florida?
I do not represent this line, so it sits in this index for reference. The manufacturer will point you to the agency that covers Florida. If you are working on a job here and want a comparable fixture from a line I represent, send me the type and I will put an alternative in front of you.
Does Mazzega 1946 have a warranty?
Warranty is handled by the manufacturer and runs through the channel the fixture was bought from. Mazzega does not publish plain warranty durations on its English-language site, so I confirm terms with the factory as part of the quotation.
Is Mazzega 1946 the same as A.V. Mazzega?
Yes - the historic A.V. Mazzega glassworks now trades as Mazzega 1946. The Re-Edition line reissues designs from that archive.
How long is the lead time on a Mazzega chandelier?
These are made to order in Italy, and custom pieces longer still. I confirm the current factory lead time at quotation rather than quoting a standing figure - plan on it being a long-lead item in the construction schedule.
Mazzega 1946 vs Barovier & Toso - how do they differ?
Both are historic Murano houses working to the same glassmaking tradition with custom project capability. The differences are archive, current design collaborations and pricing on the specific piece, so it is usually a design decision rather than a quality one.

Why ask me about it
Thirteen years in lighting in this market, most of it on the distribution side and now on the rep side of the desk. I know which lines hold a spec, which ones slip on lead time, and what the substitution is going to be when value engineering starts.
