AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare and very beautiful ceiling light

This exquisite vintage ceiling fixture, structured in multiple concentric levels that draw an elegant cascading silhouette, is an iconic example of 1970s luxury lighting design.

Its decorative architecture stands out for the smart union between the shine of polished golden brass and an innovative glass-molded mechanism.

In a demonstration of refined artisanal craftsmanship, the pendants or glass crystals transform this chandelier into a standout piece in any decor, diffusing light in an exquisite and very elegant way.

Because of the specificity of this technique of suspension and hot glass shaping, the lamp shares the constructive identity of prestigious Italian Murano creations, often associated with conceptual designs by Gaetano Sciolari or with productions of the famous Venice glass manufactory Venini, which popularized the use of modular glass components interlocked to shape light in a fluid and luxurious way.

Note oxidation/scratches on the metal, please see the photos

I do not ship outside Europe.

It will be packed with great care and sent with tracking. The tracking will be updated on your CataWiki purchase page, please check regularly to prevent the package from 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 loose from their fitting and will have to be re-seated. Or they may be removed for transport. It is up to the buyer to put them back in place.
