In this modernist design Gaetano Sciolari adapted a two tiered pendant chandelier with optical shades to create a sculpture like a transparent Doric column. The golden brass frame subtly glows from behind the crystals to creating depth to this piece. This vintage chandelier would be a glamorous addition to a classically decorated room as well as Art Deco, Modernist, Minimalist or an industrial setting. The structure consists of a central brass column around which there are two tiers. The top tier has 22 crystal shards and the bottom tier has 16; making a total of 38 crystal shards. Each shade has an optical pattern particular to Sciolari designs. The crystal shades are securely held in place with a brass screw. Carries 6 standard small screw light bulbs (E14) up to 40 Watts each. At the top, 3 light bulbs are facing outwards behind the crystal shards while below 3 lights face up nicely finishing the view from the bottom. The brass chain can be shorten or replaced with a longer one. At the top of the chain there is the original brass ceiling cup which has inside a hook to fit the chandelier to the ceiling. For safe transport, the chain folds down and each crystal shard can be individually wrapped so the piece fits inside a box. Newly rewired, in full working order and ready to use. The crystal shards are in excellent condition with the exception of a tiny chip on one shade as photographed; this is not noticeable when it is on the frame. The metal frame is in good condition with a warm patina & texture in line with age which gives character to the piece.We have also available in stock the matching set of vintage Sciolari wall lights: (item code 10673).
Height of only the frame (without the chain): 39 cm.
