Description from the seller
Classic five-arm chandelier in gold-colored/bronze metal (Candelabra style) - Mid-20th century. This impressive pendant chandelier is a magnificent example of candelabra/neoclassical style lighting, characteristic of the mid-20th century (1950s - 1970s).
Made of brass, it features an elaborate central structure and five curved arms, each ending in a wooden candle socket.
The structure is solid and highly visually impactful, typical of formal furnishings.
Chandeliers of this type were a symbol of status and solemn hospitality, intended to illuminate dining rooms or reception halls.
They represented the desire to bring the grandeur of previous eras, such as the Baroque or Rococo, into homes by reinterpreting the light of ancient candles with the practicality of electricity.
Owning such a large chandelier meant investing in a central piece for the home, intended to last for generations and serve as a focal point for family gatherings and special evenings.
