There he threw a gold ring into the waves and married the sea in the name of the Republic. Bucintoro the mirror carries that ceremony's gold: \u003cstrong\u003eamber-gold glass flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e on a frame of shining engraved crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last Bucintoro, launched in 1729, was the most splendid of all. When Napoleon's troops took Venice they burned it in 1798 to recover the gold leaf from its carvings, and only fragments survive today. What could not be burned was the taste it embodied, the Venetian certainty that splendour belongs in everyday life, and that same certainty lives on in the island's mirrors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding \u003cstrong\u003e140 cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bucintoro frames an octagonal central mirror with panels \u003cstrong\u003eengraved by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e with stars and leaves. Its crest is crowned by three \u003cstrong\u003eengraved round medallions\u003c\/strong\u003e, like portholes of light, and amber-gold twisted cords, glass leaves and flowers run all around the outline. It has the presence of a ceremonial piece and suits a grand entrance, a dining room or the wall above a fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBucintoro is \u003cstrong\u003ehandmade in Murano by Fratelli Tosi\u003c\/strong\u003e, a family glassworks founded in the early 1900s by Romano Tosi and known worldwide for its Venetian mirrors and Murano glass furniture.
