Mid-Century Modern Chrome, Plexiglass & Brushed Aluminum Chandelier by Sciolari

Creator: Sciolari Lighting
Offered by: High Style Deco

Description
This stunning Mid-Century Modern chandelier was realized by the fabled designer Gaetano Sciolari in Italy circa 1970. In dialogue with the perenially modern forms of Art Deco, Sciolari has subtly recontextualized Machine Age design elements into an inescapably forward looking and contemporary feeling object. The body of this chandelier offers two stacked volumetric rectangular forms- an ode to skyscraper style design from which serpentine arms meander outwards. Seventeen cubic polished chrome shades with plexiglass bottoms are connected via demilune (or streamlined) supports in brushed aluminum. With its beautiful construction and timeless aesthetic (at once nostalgic and forward looking), this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate historical design of all periods, as well as those with a penchant for exquisite lighting. It has been newly rewired to American standards and is in excellent vintage condition. The chandelier accommodates seventeen candelabra based bulbs offering up to 1020 watts of light. The height can be adjusted to suit.
