  • Set of Antique Venetian millefiori elbows 53x14, overall in great condition but each has a very small chip at one end
  • These are fascinating from the maker's point of view, photo of the end show how the same cane was laid along the length of the bead separating two 3 rows of murrine of the same hybrid cane (cased with stripes on the outside) At one end of one bead you can clearly see the cross-section of cane. One one side of one bead you can also see a murrini that was pushed out of it's row into part of the cane laid lengthwise, either when placed, or in the marvering process
  • For designers these make great focals or stand-lone necklaces on leather
  • Made in Venice, Italy mid-1800s to early 1900s
