AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Luxurious ceiling chandelier with a stepped cascaded design, dating to around the 1970s.
This piece stands out for its imposing two-tier articulated structure and its sophisticated ornamental work in gold-toned metal. The upper metal galleries feature an elegant geometric cutout with insets of bullseye crystal medallions, lending a distinctly vintage high-end character.
Design details:
Metal Gallery: The top and central bands are made of metal with a gold-plated (or polished brass) finish, decorated with circular cutouts that house faceted crystal medallions.
The Crystals: Arranged in multiple decreasing levels in a cascading form, the rectangular transparent crystal panels diffuse and reflect light spectacularly, creating a warm and sophisticated ambience.
Finial and Drop: The design culminates at its lower level with a series of elongated crystals that harmoniously close the ensemble.
Condition and Function:
The lamp is in excellent vintage condition.
Structure: The gold metal retains its original shine and solidity with minimal signs of age.
Some crystals may be missing and will be removed for safety.
