Why did 18th-century Venetian chandeliers have a distinctive decorative appearance?

In the 18th century, Venetian chandeliers achieved a distinctive and highly decorative appearance primarily through the use of varicoloured glass and elaborate floral ornamentation.12

While other European regions, such as France and England, often utilized materials like silver, ormolu, or clear glass decorated with pendants and pear-shaped drops, Venetian artisans focused on the vibrant aesthetic potential of their glassmaking traditions. This emphasis on multicoloured glass and intricate floral motifs allowed these chandeliers to stand out as particularly ornamental pieces within the salons of the nobility and gentry during the 18th century.12
