AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This waterfall chandelier in the shape of a flower is an Italian decorative lighting piece, composed of a sequence of individually worked molded glass elements. Each crystal module features an elongated, softly curved form, with a ribbed surface that intensifies light refraction and creates a dynamic visual effect.
The composition alternates completely transparent crystals with crystals tinted amber/golden pink, producing a subtle contrast between cool light and warm light — a characteristic often associated with mid-20th-century Italian workshops. This combination lends depth, movement, and a rich luminous presence, even when the piece is off.
The gold-finished metal frame serves as an elegant base for the glass cascade, reinforcing the piece’s luxurious character and ensuring stability. The modular assembly allows easy maintenance and replacement of individual elements.
When illuminated, the chandelier reveals all its dramatic power: the transparent crystals return crystalline glints, while the amber elements filter the light softly, creating an engaging atmosphere with a strong visual impact.
Ideal for interiors that value sculptural lighting and collectible design, this chandelier represents a perfect synthesis between artisanal craft, Italian aesthetics, and architectural presence.
The pieces in the center do not have the tube inside, allowing more light to pass.
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 the crystal pendants will be removed for transport and will have to be reattached. It is up to the buyer to put them back into their fittings.
