Pauly & C. - Compagnia Venezia Murano is one of the oldest glass factories of Murano: it was founded more than 150 years ago. The company produces glass art, [1] most notably Roman murrine, mosaics and chandeliers. The company was formed in 1919 by a merger of Pauly & C (founded in 1902) and the Compagnia di Venezia e Murano (founded in 1866).
The Doge visits Murano. A law dated November 8, 1291 confined most of Venice's glassmaking industry to the "island of Murano". [11] Murano is actually a cluster of islands linked by short bridges, located less than 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of the Venetian mainland in the Venetian lagoon.
Seguso is one of the most esteemed, historical and respected glass manufacturers on the island, [1] and among the largest glass furnaces in Murano, which has a few, homonymous furnaces. [2] Glass made by the Seguso furnace can be found in over 75 museums worldwide, such as MOMA in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. [3]
It is probable that some Barovier, originally from Treviso, settled in Murano around 1291, when a law of the Republic imposed the concentration on the island of all glass furnaces." [5] Jacobello was the first member of the Barovier family to work glass at this time. [6] It is thought that the company originated in Treviso [citation needed].
Pauly & C. - Compagnia Venezia Murano has continued to be an important producer of Venetian art glass. Of particular historical relevance is the mosaic portrait of President Abraham Lincoln, which can be viewed today in the Senate House rooms in the United States, produced by Compagnia Venezia Murano and donated by Antonio Salviati in 1866.
Ewer made by Salviati & Co, now in Walters Art Museum.. A family called Salviati were glass makers and mosaicists in Murano, Venice and also in London, working as the firm Salviati, Jesurum & Co. of 213 Regent Street, London; also as Salviati and Co. and later (after 1866) as the Venice and Murano Glass and Mosaic Company (Today Pauly & C. - Compagnia Venezia Murano).
