Italian Brass + Opaline Glass Chandelier, 1950s

$5,800.00

An Italian chandelier from the 1950s, the composition symmetrical and measured, creating a sense of order while allowing the material contrasts to take precedence.

A central brass column extends outward into a balanced arrangement of arms, each terminating in an opaline glass shade.

Crafted in brass, the structure carries a warm patina that softens the geometry of the piece. The opaline glass shades introduce a diffused, even light, tempering the metallic framework with a sense of softness and atmosphere.

The chandelier possesses a strong visual presence. The cylindrical shades appear to float beneath the brass framework, emphasizing the fixture’s horizontal reach while maintaining an overall lightness.

Suspended above a dining table, it creates a focused and intimate glow. In a living room, it anchors the space without dominating it. Within an entry or gallery-like setting, it introduces rhythm, scale, and warmth through both form and light.

DIMENSIONS: 25"W x 25"D x 38"H

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS: Canopy: 4.5"D x 8"H; OAH: 34.5"; Drop: 23"

ORIGIN: Italy

PERIOD: 1950s

MATERIALS: Glass, Brass

CONDITION: In very good vintage condition, with minor surface wear, and a natural patina to the brass frame present throughout. This pendant has been professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with a new socket. Accepts five E12 candelabra base light bulbs.
