Mid-Century Modern Rectilinear Polished Brass and Lucite Chandelier by Sciolari
-
Description
This refined rectilinear chandelier was realized by Gaetano Sciolari in Italy, circa 1970. It features a cylindrical body with six arms of the same form attached via rectangular slats to create a dynamic basketweave pattern in alternating segments of brushed and polished brass. Nine of the brass arms are capped with Lucite on the bottoms and culminate in a candelabra based bulb, while three of the arms have cylindrical Lucite embellishments on both ends. Embodying the verve and élan of Italian Mid Century design at its very best, this chandelier illustrates, in no uncertain terms, why the Sciolari's designs remain as contemporary feeling and compelling today as ever before. This chandelier is also as versatile as it is beautiful, blending perfectly with any style of interior from classic Mid-Century Modern to contemporary. It has been newly rewired to American standards and is in very good vintage condition. The height can be adjusted to suit. The chandelier accommodates nine candelabra based bulbs offering up to 540 watts of light. Italy, circa 1970.
