This elegant mid-century chandelier from Germany, dating to the 1950s, is a refined example of Sputnik-style design.
Five gracefully arched brass arms extend from a central black enamelled hub, each terminating in a tapered white glass shade. The shades feature a subtly textured surface with fine linear details, creating a soft and ambient light effect when illuminated.
The design blends sculptural elegance with functional lighting, making it a versatile focal point for various interior styles—from minimalist and contemporary to vintage-inspired settings.
The combination of polished brass and black enamel delivers a timeless aesthetic, while the organic, petal-like glass shades add a modernist softness to the overall form.
The brass surfaces display a warm, aged patina that enhances the character and authenticity of the piece. The white glass shades remain in good condition with only minor surface wear, typical for a piece of this age.
