Centuries-Old Expertise in Venetian Glassmaking
The legacy associated with the company Barovier & Toso is created on more than 700 years of closely guarded secret craft techniques handed down over the centuries, making this family company the sixth oldest business globally. The brand fully embodies its history, preserving ancient methods through the daily production of lights. The Barovier family owes much of Murano's prominence to Angelo Barovier, a Renaissance glass maker credited with inventing Cristallo glass.
The Tosos is another well-established glasswork dynasty, mainly involved in the 19th-century rebirth of Murano glass, with whom Ercole developed a successful relationship. Angelo, Ercole's uncle, moved the company in a more modern path in 1980 while also looking to the extensive archives representing the Barovier heritage. Since then, the brand has focused on extending its global reputation for premium lighting and chandeliers.
