Its clean, rectilinear silhouette is framed by a composition of vertical glass rods that weave light into a shimmering interplay of clarity and reflection, evoking the streamlined elegance that defined the Machine Age. At its core lies a mottled glass diffuser, which tempers the illumination with a subtle texture and warmth, creating a beautifully balanced glow. Brass and copper fittings further enrich the piece, their warm metallic tones introducing depth and an artisanal quality that complements the precise yet dynamic design. With tiered designs, mixed metal motifs, and brilliantly formed geometric sensibility in each element of the frame, this is a highly unique and dynamic fixture. Powerful in its simplicity and luxurious in its materials, the chandelier stands as both a functional light source and a statement of Art Deco sophistication. Ideal for placement in a dining room, entryway, over a billiards table, or as a statement space, it effortlessly enhances the surrounding architecture with its timeless aesthetic, bridging the era of its creation and the modern ethos of thoughtful, elegant design. Newly rewired to American Standards with height that can be adjusted to suit, this chandelier accommodates six candelabra base bulbs, achieving up to 360 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
