Masiero
Masiero makes the decorative chandelier in both its tenses. Founded in 1981 in the Veneto and still family-run, the house works in crystal, glass and brass across two clear worlds: the classic Venetian chandelier — gold-leaf frames, candle arms and faceted crystal — and a contemporary line like Crek, where crystal bars and brushed brass read as architectural rather than ornate. The same hand-finishing runs through both, plus an outdoor crystal collection, Drylight, that takes the chandelier onto the terrace. Via della Seta sources Masiero directly for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — handling specification, freight, customs and white-glove installation under one contract.

Why specify Masiero for an interior project
Masiero covers the decorative range from one house. A traditional interior can take a gold-and-crystal candelabra; a contemporary one can take the Crek collection's crystal-and-brass bars; a terrace can take the weather-rated Drylight. Because the crystal cutting and brass finishing are shared across collections, a project can mix classic and contemporary Masiero and keep a consistent quality of light and material — useful when different rooms call for different registers.
It is also a full-fixture catalog. Most Masiero collections — Crek among them — run as a family across chandelier, suspension, wall, floor and table, so a single room or a whole project can be lit in one coherent design language: the statement chandelier over the table, the matching sconces on the walls, the floor and table lamps in the lounge. Finishes, crystal types and sizes are specified to the project.
Via della Seta sources Masiero directly. We work from the spec — collection, fixture type, size, crystal and metal finish, and lamping — confirm availability against current production, manage ocean or air freight, US customs clearance and white-glove installation, and consolidate the Masiero package with the rest of your specification (furniture, kitchens, smart home) under one contract and one timeline.

Care & maintenance
Crystal & glass
Dust crystal bars, drops and arms with a soft dry cloth or soft brush; for a deeper clean use a barely damp lint-free cloth on cooled glass and dry immediately. Avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals that dull the cut crystal.
Metal & gold-leaf finishes
Brushed brass and gold-leaf frames wipe clean with a soft dry cloth. Gold-leaf is delicate — never use abrasives or solvents, and keep moisture away from electrical connections.
Outdoor (Drylight) & lamping
Drylight fixtures are weather-rated but still benefit from periodic cleaning of accumulated dust and salt; follow the collection's outdoor guidance. Use the specified lamp type and wattage, and for cordless versions recharge per the manufacturer's instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Masiero make both classic and contemporary lighting?
Yes — that is its defining range. Masiero produces classic Venetian chandeliers with gold-leaf frames and faceted crystal, and contemporary collections like Crek where crystal bars and brushed brass read as architectural. The shared crystal cutting and metal finishing let a project mix registers across rooms while keeping a consistent quality.
Can I buy Masiero in the United States through Via della Seta?
Yes. Via della Seta sources Masiero directly from Italy for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — including luxury residences in California, Florida, New York and Texas, and hospitality interiors nationwide. We handle specification, the factory order, ocean or air freight, US customs clearance and white-glove installation.
Can I get matching wall, floor and table lights for a Masiero chandelier?
Usually, yes. Most Masiero collections — Crek among them — run as a full family across chandelier, suspension, wall, floor and table. That lets a room or a whole project be lit in one coherent design language, with the statement chandelier, matching sconces and floor and table lamps all sharing crystal and finish.
Does Masiero make outdoor lighting?
Yes — the Drylight collection. It brings crystal chandeliers, floor and table lamps outdoors with weather-rated construction, and several pieces are offered cordless for terraces and gardens. It lets a project carry decorative crystal light from the dining room out to the terrace.
What finishes and crystal types are available?
Masiero offers a range of metal finishes — brushed and polished brass, gold-leaf and others — with various crystal and glass types depending on the collection. We confirm the exact finish, crystal and size options against current production when preparing your specification and quote.
How does Masiero compare to Barovier & Toso?
Both are Italian decorative-lighting houses, but Barovier & Toso is the historic Murano name working in mouth-blown art glass, with the most theatrical, sculptural pieces. Masiero is a contemporary Veneto house spanning classic gold-and-crystal and modern crystal-and-brass (Crek), typically at a broader range of price points. Specify Barovier & Toso for a genuine Murano statement; Masiero for decorative crystal across classic and modern rooms.
What are typical Masiero lead times for projects in the US?
Cataloged collections generally ship 8–14 weeks ex-Italy; large statement chandeliers, special finishes and configured quantities run 12–18 weeks. For projects with a fixed install date we recommend confirming the spec a few months out so production, freight and US customs clearance fit comfortably inside the schedule.
