AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian Brass, Crystal and Glass Rod Chandelier – c. 1950–1970 – Rare Spiral Design.
Elegant mid-20th-century Italian chandelier, in golden brass worked metal, characteristic of Italian decorative production between the 1950s and 1970s. The piece features a richly ornamented upper ring, from which cascades a strand of faceted crystals arranged in a spiral, creating a continuous visual movement and a deeply sophisticated luminous effect.
The structure is composed of twisted glass rods (glass rods), a feature highly valued in Italian design of the era. These glass tubes capture and diffuse light intensely, enhancing the brilliance of the crystals and giving the chandelier a luxurious and theatrical character, typical of the Italian Hollywood Regency style.
The ensemble results in a piece with great presence, ideal for entrances, living rooms, stairwells, 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 highly decorative piece.
Note some oxidation (not visible when in place) on the gold finish of the metal on the inner middle part, please see photos
A find that will fit well in any vintage old-fashioned 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 packed with great care and sent with tracking. Don’t worry, I know how to package this item so 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 you must consider that during transit some pieces may come out of their fittings and will need to be reattached. It is the buyer’s responsibility to put them back in place. I will send replacement pieces.
