Since the 7th century, Venice has been famous for its glass.
Murano Glass is an evolution of its Venetian parent and is
so-called after a series of fires in the city in 1291 encouraged
a group of craftsmen to relocate their trade to the safety of the
nearby island of Murano.

Over the centuries, Murano Glass evolved uniquely in technique,
design, texture and colour. Visually exciting effects were created
with the addition of various minerals: gold, arsenic, sodium, cobalt,
copper and nitrates - to name just a few.

The luminescent floral designs captured within hemispherical paper
weights are recognisably the most common form of Murano Glass.

The evolution continues: new techniques and imaginative ideas
have been applied to door, cabinet and drawer handles: black with
silver leaf or gold, amethyst, grey and white with silver leaf, all set
in mountings of hi-grade polished or brushed steel. You can see
them displayed as part of the Fulham Brass collection of over 7000
items of high quality architectural hardware.
