In this design Gaetano Sciolari takes the classic tiered chandelier to greater sculptural effect with the use of contrasting metallic finishes of brass & metallic black alongside optical crystal shades. The use of black metal is quite rare to find in Sciolari pieces. This vintage chandelier consists of a central column from which there are 12 narrow columns in a sun burst pattern. These are in tiers at various levels and finished with 24 large quality crystal shards. Each shade has an optical design and is removable from the frame.
In this particular model, t
he contrast between the polished brass tubular surfaces against the metallic black rings & caps further enhance the sculptural effect. Carries 12 standard small screw light bulbs (E14) up to 40 watts each; 8 are facing down and 4 facing upwards. Photographed and fitted at present with clear Pygmy light bulbs of 15 Watts, but could take other shapes such as candle or golf for a different look. The brass pendant rod can be unscrewed from the main frame to shorten or replace with a longer bar or chain if needed. At the top of the rod there is the original brass ceiling cup which has inside at the top of the bar, a hook to fit the chandelier to the ceiling. For safe transport all the pieces are removable. The pendant bar & arms can be separated, and each crystal shard individually wrapped. Newly rewired, in full working order and ready to use.
