Description
This two-tiered 1970s Italian chandelier has a sexy disco look, with nine brushed-brass cylindrical lights alternated with 8" and 6" crystal rod prisms.
The chandelier features polished-brass arched connecting pieces.
Hardwired. Takes 9 candelabra-base tubular bulbs (included).
The person I acquired it from thought it was by Gaetano Sciolari, but the only other example I saw online was attributed to Tommi Parzinger.
One 8" crystal bar is missing but it's not noticeable. I tried in vain to find a replacement prism - they are definitely not common if available at all.
Three of the other prisms have nicks that I could see - two are on the bottom edge, and one is chipped where the brass clasps cover it. There is a little patination on some of the brass - see photos. The crystals will have to be removed for shipping, so it would be easy to place the damaged ones on the top tier to be less visible.
Includes original canopy and hanging hardware.
