This elegant eight-arm living room chandelier, crafted in Italy in the mid-20th century entirely from Bohemian crystal, features a central baluster stem composed of molded and cut crystal vases. It is bordered at the top and bottom by two imposing crystal bowls, richly decorated with two tiers of almond-shaped pendants with octagonal festoons.

from the central bowl extend eight curved arms in solid crystal, with a deep, downward-curving volute and a faceted surface. They terminate with unique flower-shaped colacera plates and milk glass candles. The eight arms alternate with upward-facing crystal arms, featuring the same workmanship and floral bobeches, but terminating in exquisite prism-shaped pinnacles.

The chandelier does not include a chain or bowl; these can be supplied upon request. One pinnacle has been replaced, and there are two missing parts on the bobeches; see photo details. It weighs 24 kg.

It was completely dismantled and re-electricized according to European standards and is fully functional with eight E14 bulbs.

The excellent quality of the clear crystal and the multitude of faceted pendants emphasize the magical effect of reflected light, making this antique 20th-century chandelier strikingly dramatic, luminous, and ideal for both classic and contemporary settings.
