AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chandelier pendant with a square geometric shape (Empire style reinterpreted in a Mid-Century key). Mid-20th century (circa 1950 - 1970).
Total height approximately 100 cm, base side length 32 cm.
Brass/gold-toned metal structure with circular decorative inserts along the perimeter; dense cascade of pendants in glass and frosted crystal arranged on multiple levels.
The item presents in good overall aesthetic condition, with a natural and pleasant patina of time on the metal component. It should be noted that the composition of the pendants includes elements integrated/replaced in recent times (in particular angular and central prisms) in order to restore completeness and visual balance of the decorative apparatus.
Original period electrical wiring; a revision by a qualified technician is recommended before installation to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Tested and functioning, 1 light point with universal E27 socket.
Please carefully view the photographic gallery, which is an integral part of the description, in order to avoid misunderstandings.
Careful packaging and tracked shipping.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
