Description from the seller
Vintage cascading chandelier with transparent and frosted glass pendants, spiral design
Italian vintage chandelier, composed of a cut-out gold-tone frame and an impressive cascade of glass pendants arranged in a spiral. On the exterior ring are the compact transparent pendants, in thick molded glass, responsible for the brightest shine and crystal reflections.
Inside the piece lie the frosted hollow pendants, lighter and more delicate, that diffuse light softly and create an elegant contrast between transparency and opacity. Each pendant shows small natural variations from the manufacturing process, typical of artisanal productions from the 1970s.
The spiral design gives the chandelier a unique visual movement: from each side you can see a different composition, with light gliding along the transparent rods and softening on the frosted rods, creating depth and a continuous cascading effect. It is a piece that stands out both when lit and when off, functioning as a central decorative element.
Because the pendants are so fragile they will be removed for transport; it is up to the buyer to relocate them. But don’t worry, they will be clearly identified and easy to reposition. I will send replacements.
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. 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 shipping.
