Vintage Gaetano Sciolari chandeliers are known for the quality of the materials and originality of design. In this case the traditional branch shaped chandelier is given a Modern twist with reflective materials and sharp geometric forms. This design is influenced by the Brutalist & Futuristic styles of the 1970`s. The combination of materials & sculptural presence make this chandelier a unique addition to a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, 70`s Glamour, Minimal, Industrial, or Contemporary.
This 1970`s Sciolari chandelier is of large proportions and has a high quality chrome & solid polished brass frame arranged in a zigzag or chevron shape.
The sculptural Modernist design consists of a center hexagonal column in polished chrome that
continues at the top towards the tubular polished chrome rod & ceiling cup.
From this main central tall column depart sideways 3 double arms in brass & chrome, each connecting to 3 medium height vertical chrome columns. Each of these middle columns has 2 arms creating a continuous hexagonal beehive pattern with alternance of heights for a total of 21 columns. Each of them finishing at the top in a lamp holder, and at the bottom in a chrome hexagonal decorative flat plate.
The arms that joined the columns are designed with horizontal bands; these are in highly polished solid brass & chrome.
In total there are 21 lights divided in 3 tiers: 3 lights at the top tier, 9 lights at the medium tier, and 9 lights at the bottom tier.
Each lamp holder carries one standard (E14) light bulb up to 40 Watts. At present photographed & fitted with Pygmy clear light bulbs of 15 Watts which are included in the price. Other (E14) bulb shapes like Golf or Candle could be used for a different look.
At the top, the chrome rod unscrews from the frame for easy transport. This rod can also be shortened or replaced with a chain if needed. It finishes at the top in a ring with a removable S hook to fit to the ceiling, all this covered by the ceiling cup.
The ceiling cup is in polished chrome. It is fully removable and sits on a metal ring that slides along the rod and can be secured by a crew at different heights. Inside the chrome ceiling cup there is the original Sciolari maker`s paper label.
This vintage chandelier is in very good condition and sound construction. The brass & chrome surfaces are in very good condition with a warm light antique patina and minor superficial marks in line with age & wear.
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care in packing. For safe transport the frame would be wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap, foam & soft card. The rod would be unscrewed & packed separately if necessary. Both frame & rod would easily fit into a box with loose fill packing peanuts ideal for safe posting.
