Before clocks hung in houses, Venice was told the time by a bell. The largest bell of St Mark's campanile was called the Marangona, after the marangoni, the carpenters of the Arsenale: it rang at dawn to open the working day and again at dusk to close it, and the whole city moved to its rhythm.

DESCRIPTION

Marangona — Venetian Mirror Wall Clock

Before clocks hung in houses, Venice was told the time by a bell. The largest bell of St Mark's campanile was called the Marangona, after the marangoni, the carpenters of the Arsenale: it rang at dawn to open the working day and again at dusk to close it, and the whole city moved to its rhythm. This clock carries that name, and the same task — to give a room its hours.

Venice has always made time beautiful. In 1499 the Republic unveiled the Torre dell'Orologio on Piazza San Marco: a blue and gold dial marking the hours, the phases of the moon and the signs of the zodiac, crowned by two bronze figures that strike the bell on the hour. From that taste for time as spectacle come the grand Venetian clocks of the following centuries, and this one belongs to their family.

Marangona is 94 cm tall and entirely clad in mirror engraved by hand: wheat-ear sprays and scrolling foliage run down the sides, and the bevelled panels are silvered in the traditional way so the light comes back soft and deep. A pointed crest rises above the case, the Roman-numeral dial sits on a golden ground framed with fine ornament, and below it the pendulum swings against a black panel, a quiet movement that the whole room notices. The mouldings are in wood gilded with gold leaf, applied by hand.

It suits an entrance hall, a dining room, a study or a stair landing — anywhere a wall needs one vertical, luminous piece. Together with a Venetian mirror on a facing wall it doubles the light twice over.

Marangona is handmade in Murano by Fratelli Tosi, a family glassworks founded in the early 1900s by Romano Tosi and known worldwide for its Venetian mirrors and mirrored furniture. Like every piece in this collection it is made to order and can be produced in custom sizes and finishes: ask us for a bespoke quote.

A month ago I was in Venice and couldn't help noticing the incredible glass figures in every corner of the city. But I was afraid of choosing something that wasn't authentic, so I didn't feel able to buy one at the time. Days later, back home, I kept thinking about it and happened to come across this elegant, professional business. After so many days of searching and hesitating, I finally chose my piece, and I couldn't be happier. From the website, which is incredibly well designed, to unwrapping the very parcel that held my piece, it was a truly exceptional experience. The detail, the care and the love devoted to this Venetian art, and the professionalism this business offers, are seen in very few places. I don't usually write reviews, but I feel this shop has great potential to grow and deserves to be recognised all over the world.

I've recently bought an artistic glass vase; the customer service was very fast and prepared, the expedition was really fast and the item came directly at my house. The product was even better than the photos in the ad. I'm really satisfied with my experience, I highly recommend this company.
