Grand and Rare Linear Glass and Brass Chandelier by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte

Creator: Max Ingrand
Offered by: Guy Regal

Description
A monumental linear chandelier of architectural sophistication by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte, Italy, circa 1950s. Fifty-eight thick beveled glass slabs in characteristic Fontana Arte cristallo project vertically in opposing rows from a horizontal rectangular brass framework, creating a continuous palisade above and below the central band; within this glass cage, a frosted glass drum suspends to house eleven Edison-base bulbs. Each slab is held by an individual cast brass clip and screw, the construction logic visible and intentional. The attribution to Max Ingrand has been confirmed by the foremost American authority on his work for Fontana Arte; the horizontal linear format is unusual within his documented production. The brass armature retains its original patina, professionally cleaned. Interior paint original to the period. Glass in excellent condition.
Professionally rewired and UL Listed.
