AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and majestic large vintage pendant chandelier "Six-Light Chandelier", dating from around 1940. A true and proper masterpiece of Italian lighting of the 20th century, this model fuses the geometric elegance of Art Déco with the purity of Mid-Century Modern lines.
- The supporting structure and suspension stem are made of solid brass. The decorative and aesthetic focal point comprises two large curved disks of satinized and sandblasted artistic glass. The glasses are embellished with a refined floral decoration carried out entirely by hand using the historic and complex technique of grinding and acid etching. The central "basket/cage" structure houses inside the 6 lamp holders, diffusing light softly and evenly through the glass disks.
Condition details:
Integrity and Operation: The chandelier is complete in all its structural and decorative parts and is perfectly functional.
- The electrical system accommodates 6 standard bulbs; it should be noted that only 2 bulbs are missing, easily replaceable by the buyer.
- Patina and Oxidation: As evidenced by the close-up images, the brass structure shows natural and widespread oxidation. No polishing has been performed to preserve the object's authenticity and historical charm. The artistic glass panes show no cracks or structural breaks.
- The object's constructive features and materials attest to its full originality from the era:
Structure: wholly crafted in solid brass with the unmistakable central molded element.
- Diffusers: Two curved disks of original sandblasted glass, finely engraved and hand-decorated with graphic and floral motifs typical of the manufacture.
Configuration: Six-light system perfectly contemporary.
Alongside the item's listing, archival images of the identical model have been included among the photos to allow immediate and transparent verification of every detail, finish, and glass thickness.
Sales conditions: The item is sold exclusively with the "Seen and Liked" (As Is) clause in the real condition in which it is found. The numerous high-resolution attached photos are an integral part of and descriptive of this offer.
A collectible piece of the highest order, ideal for enriching formal salons or internationally designed interiors."
