AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian Brass and Crystal Chandelier with Glass Rods – circa 1950–1970 – Rare Spiral Design.
Elegant mid-20th-century Italian chandelier, in worked gold brass, characteristic of Italian decorative production between the 1950s and 1970s. The piece features a richly ornamented upper ring from which cascades of faceted crystals are arranged in a spiral, creating a continuous visual movement and a deeply sophisticated luminous effect.
The structure is composed of twisted glass rods, a highly valued element in Italian design of the time. These glass tubes capture and diffuse light intensely, enhancing the sparkle of the crystals and giving the chandelier a luxurious and theatrical character, typical of the Italian Hollywood Regency style.
The set results in a piece of great presence, ideal for entrances, living rooms, staircases, or environments that value decorative lighting with history, glamour, and artisanal quality.
The condition is very good, with natural patina and age-related signs compatible with authenticity.
The light output is magnificent, providing warmth, elegance, and glamour!
A very decorative piece.
Note some (not visible when placed) oxidation on the interior gold of the middle section, please see the photos
A find that will look good in any vintage antique or modern decor. Its design will make it a standout piece in any setting. Note some oxidation (not visible).
I do not ship outside Europe.
It will be very carefully packed and shipped with tracking. Don’t worry, I know how to pack this item so it arrives to you in the best condition. The tracking will be updated on your Catawiki purchase page, please check regularly to avoid the package being returned to me, in which case the buyer will be responsible for the cost of any additional shipment.
It will be well packed but please consider that during transit some pieces may come out of their fittings and will have to be re-seated. It is the buyer’s responsibility to put them back in place. I will send spare parts.
