AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Dazzling cascading classic ceiling lamp, ideal for anyone seeking an exclusive and sophisticated lighting piece.
This model is inspired by or directly attributed to the iconic Murano glass lamps designed by Paolo Venini in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s.
With 6 light sources, very large and heavy. It will be a focal piece in any design or décor.
Its gold-plated or brass metal frame features a unique geometric shape cut into lobes (petal-like), from which multiple prisms or transparent blown-glass tubes hang, following that elegant wavy silhouette. In the center, it has a radial arrangement of 6 lamp holders, ensuring perfect light distribution, suspended by a gold or brass metal frame.
The main highlight of this piece is its unique visual effect: the arrangement of the glass tubes creates a cascading refraction of light, producing a brilliant and sophisticated glow when the chandelier is lit.
A true piece, rare and collectible, of vintage design that transforms any space with refinement and elegance.
The pendants will be removed for transport so that they reach you in the best condition. It is up to the buyer to reinstall them into the fittings.
I do not ship outside Europe.
It will be packed with great care and shipped with tracking. Do not worry, I know how to package this item so that it arrives 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.
