Description from the seller
Stunning Vintage Mid-Century Chandelier – Maison Arlus Style – 1950s/60s
Unique French Mid-Century Modern chandelier in the style of the iconic lighting house Maison Arlus (France, 1950s/60s). This stylish 'spider' or 'sputnik' lamp is a true showpiece for any vintage or modern interior. The design combines elegantly curved, gold-tone brass arms with contrasting matte black geometric details. A unique and playful feature of this specific model are the thin metal arrows with striking red tips that subtly protrude between the arms.
The lamp features four cylindrical shades made of heavy, high-quality pressed glass with a diamond or ice glass relief. When the lamp is lit, this glass creates a beautiful, warm and diffused light effect (see photos).
All four light points have been tested and work perfectly. The glass shades are in excellent, undamaged condition without cracks or chips, which is very rare for this age.
Dimensions: approx. 74 cm long, 44.5 cm wide, hanging rod to ceiling canopy 42 cm
Condition: In beautiful and working vintage condition with a gorgeous authentic patina on the brass. The wiring is original.
4x bulbs not included
A beautiful design object that immediately adds character to your living room or above the dining table.
