This captivating cage-style chandelier features a solid brass frame with a warm-toned finish that enhances its elegance and vintage appeal. The upper section includes a sturdy frame connected to the main structure by four arms, from which the hanging chain extends for ceiling installation. At the bottom, a central light socket ensures even illumination throughout the space. The four beveled smoked glass panels are securely fastened to the frame with unique screws, and their precision-cut beveling adds depth and creates stunning light reflections. The brass chain and ceiling canopy are height-adjustable, allowing for customization to suit different spaces. This chandelier was crafted between 1970 and 1975 by a prestigious Milan-based manufacturer. During the 1970s, these types of chandeliers were highly popular in Italy and across Europe, known for their beveled glass and sleek metal structures, often in brass or chrome finishes. While there are no visible markings to confirm the exact designer, its aesthetic closely resembles the works of Gaetano Sciolari and other renowned Italian lighting manufacturers specializing in high-end decorative lighting. The chandelier boasts a geometric, structured design that embodies modernist and Art Deco influences, reinterpreted with a contemporary touch. This sophisticated vintage lighting piece is a true statement of style and functionality. The combination of gilded brass and finely beveled smoked glass makes it a refined décor element, ideal for adding a touch of retro elegance to any setting. The soft diffusion of light through the smoked glass panels creates a warm and inviting ambiance, while the geometric design adds character without overwhelming the space. With its timeless aesthetic, this chandelier fits seamlessly into modern, vintage, industrial chic, or warm-toned metal and wood interiors. We recommend placing it:
• Above a dining table for a striking and elegant focal point.
• In a living room or entryway to create an immediate sense of sophistication.
• In a vintage-inspired office or study to enhance the space with character and exclusivity.
A one-of-a-kind piece that merges style, quality, and authenticity, it is perfect for those seeking decorative lighting with the iconic charm of 1970s design. The chandelier is in good condition.
