Vintage Lighting Auction

Stunning vintage pendant chandelier dating from the 1960s/70s, a high-end Italian piece attributed to Cristal Art and the Fontana Arte / Zero Quattro school. 

The piece consists of 16 vertical 20 cm hand-sculpted crystal glass panels (chipped ice glass effect).
When the lamp is switched on, the glass glows in an extraordinary, vibrant aqua-green hue, creating dramatic reflections and plays of light with exceptional visual impact. 

Chrome finish: In truly incredible condition considering its age: the chrome-plated metal frame is perfect, completely free of rust and with no trace of oxidation. 

Glass panels: Almost all intact, with just one panel showing a tiny, barely noticeable chip, absolutely invisible overall and in no way detracting from the beauty of the chandelier.

Period: Mid-Century Modern (1965–1975). 

Fitting: E27 bulb socket.

Splendido lampadario a sospensione vintage risalente agli anni '60/'70, di manifattura italiana d'alta gamma attribuibile alla produzione di Cristal Art e alla scuola di Fontana Arte / Zero Quattro. 

​Il pezzo è composto da 16 lastre verticali in vetro cristallo scolpito a mano (effetto chipped ice glass) da 20 cm.
Quando la lampada è accesa, il vetro si illumina di una straordinaria e vibrante tonalità verde acqua, creando riflessi e giochi di luce scenografici di eccezionale impatto visivo. 

​Cromatura: In uno stato di conservazione davvero incredibile vista l'età: la struttura in metallo cromato è perfetta, completamente priva di ruggine e senza alcuna traccia di ossidazione. 

​Vetri: Integri nella quasi totalità, con un unico vetro che presenta una piccolissima e impercettibile scheggiatura, assolutamente invisibile nell'insieme e che non compromette in alcun modo la bellezza del lampadario.

​Epoca: Mid-Century Modern (1965–1975). 

​Impianto: Attacco luce E27.
