AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This cascade chandelier is an Italian decorative lighting piece, composed of a sequence of individually worked molded glass elements. Each crystal module has an elongated, gently curved shape, with a ribbed surface that intensifies light refraction and creates a dynamic visual effect.
The composition alternates completely transparent crystals with crystals tinted in amber/golden pink, producing a subtle contrast between cool and warm light — a feature often associated with mid-20th-century Italian workshops. This combination adds depth, movement, and a rich luminous presence, even when the piece is off.
The golden metallic finish of the metal frame serves as an elegant base for the glass cascade, reinforcing the piece’s luxurious character and ensuring stability. The modular assembly allows for easy maintenance and individual replacement of elements.
When illuminated, the chandelier reveals its dramatic presence: the transparent crystals reflect crystalline sparkles, while the amber elements filter the light with softness, creating an enveloping ambiance with a strong visual impact.
An ideal piece for interiors that value sculptural lighting and collectible design, this chandelier represents a perfect synthesis of artisanal technique, Italian aesthetics, and architectural presence.
The centerpiece at the top does not seem to be glass, perhaps plexiglass??!!
I do not ship outside Europe.
It will be packed with great care and sent with tracking. Don’t worry, I know how to pack this item so that it arrives to you in the best condition. 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 shipping.
It will be very well packed, but the crystal pendants will be removed for transport and will have to be placed back into their sockets by the buyer.
