AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Monumental Maria Teresa 18-light chandelier – wrought iron in gold finish and frosted crystal (H 115 x 90 cm)
Ready to use with new bulbs
Already packed in a custom wooden protective crate (100x100x132 cm).

Splendid and imposing vintage ceiling light, made in Italy in the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s), inspired by the famous classical Maria Teresa style.

A piece of furniture with extraordinary stage presence, perfect for large salons, period villas, or representative environments. The cage-like framework features curved arms in wrought iron finished with gilded patina, enriched by a rich and complete dress of crystals with very high light refraction.

Details and Technical Specifications:
Style and Era: Maria Theresa / Maria Theresa Style Chandelier (Italy, mid-XX Century).

Chandelier Dimensions: Height 115 cm × Diameter 90 cm (adjustable suspension chain). Net weight about 40 kg.

18-Lamp Configuration: Arranged on two levels (12 lamps on the lower tier + 6 lamps on the upper).

Electricals Ready to Use: Fully functional installation and equipped with 18 new bulbs just installed.

Socket endings with drop-shaped canopy.

Crystal Set: Cascade of octagonal frosted chains, drop and almond-shaped pendants (gouttes) in crystal with high refraction and bobeches (petal-like candle cups) shaped as flowers.

Professional Packaging:
The chandelier is already stored inside a robust custom wooden crate (100 × 100 × 132 cm).
Crate total weight including contents: about 70 kg.

Inside the crate, the piece does not rest on the bottom but is suspended from a dedicated transverse wooden beam, keeping the structure in natural suspension as in installation. At the four corners and around the body are placed cushions and soft packing material that block any oscillation without exerting rigid pressure on the crystals.

Pickup:
Given the size and weight of the packaging, pickup is at the buyer's expense via their own specialized courier or their own transport. I am fully available to open the crate together with the carrier/buyer at pickup to verify the contents and optionally assist in adding further protective or securing elements if requested by the courier.
