Trierdi is the Italian word for trihedral.

Camer Glass

Often sold as a chandelier produced by Camer Glass. Camer Glass was an American importer of glass, located in New York and specialised in lighting fixtures that were primarily made in Murano, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Camer Glass no longer exists. The company was at least active in the 1960’s and 1970’s. They sold glass produced by many famous companies such as Venini, Barbini and Seguso.

Trierdi

The trierdi shaped crystal rods are a typical Venini design. Venini produced many lamps in this prism style shape. This chandelier dates from the 1970s, so it is possible that is was produced by them. However, several lamp producers made these type of lamps. Even today you can buy new ones.
