The full name would be Lüsterweibchen or Lüstermännchen, but everyone calls them more simply "luster". These are the anthropomorphic chandeliers, suspended in midair in the living rooms or in front of the doors of the Ampezzo houses, which with their strange features carved in wood and completed by large antlers give reference to the traditions of the mountains. Their origin dates back to the centuries when the border between superstition and reality was rather blurred and man relied on similar apotropaic figures to drive away their fears. Precisely this was the task of the "lusters": to watch over domestic peace, keeping the Evil One away.Period: 1950s Measurements: H 35 x L 61 x P 33 cm

Group of Murano chandeliers from the 1970s. Applications in white Murano glass, with blue edges, shapes reminiscent of the lily with chromed structure. They are three the same and one different. They need to be checked, they need a minimal adjustment of the electrical part, and the chrome plating is not perfect in all of them. Period: 1970s Measurements: Ø 40 cm
