AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A magnificent vintage chandelier dating from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, a perfect example of Italian-made Mid-Century Modern / Hollywood Regency design.


The chandelier features a sculptural 5-light structure with shaped arms in gold-tone metal. Its standout feature is the 21 solid, heavy, transparent glass spheres, suspended at varying heights by small gold-tone chains. The solid glass gives the piece substantial weight and presence, creating an extraordinary play of light refraction and warm reflections when illuminated.



Condition and operation: The chandelier is in perfect working order. Complete in every respect: there are no breaks or missing parts in either the metalwork or the glass spheres. It has an original period patina, with natural spots of oxidation on the socket covers and gold-tone metal parts—details that attest to its authenticity and vintage charm without detracting from its overall appearance.



- Total length (including chain and mounting canopy): 85 cm
- Chandelier body height (excluding chain): 53 cm
- Overall diameter: 40.5 cm


A unique piece with great visual impact, ideal for enhancing elegant interiors, vintage-inspired living rooms, entryways, or living areas.
