70's Sciolari gold plated 6 lights chandelier with Murano white beveled glass elements

This is a stunning 1970s authentic Italian chandelier designed by Gaetano Sciolari. With its Modernist repeated cubic shapes  playfully twists the traditional form. The result is sculptural & chic. This design along with the gold-plated gilt frame and quality glass are characteristic of the designs by Gaetano Sciolari the attributed designer.

The combination of Modernism & floral makes this Italian chandelier a unique addition to a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, Post-Modern or Contemporary.

Attention is drawn to the 6 flower-like arms hanging downwards before spread opening to reveal the light bulb. Each flower is cubic shaped with 4 rectangular petals coming out of a golden cube. Carrying on this cubic theme the stem is gold-plated tubing with a square profile. This stem curves to join the central column, and at the end the tubing is cross-sectioned to finish in a diamond shape. At each junction, where the stems meet the central column, there is a decorative gold-plated disc.

The central column of this Italian chandelier has a wider disc which then narrows in stages to the pendant rod. At the top there is the original dome shaped ceiling cup. Inside the ceiling cup fitted at the top of the rod there is a hook to hang this chandelier to the ceiling. The pendant rod can be adjusted by simply unscrewing a detachable part of the drop rod thus the total drop of the chandelier can be either 90 cm or 60 cm

The removable glass petals are of exquisite quality craftsmanship: they are in clear glass with a top layer of white glass. The edges are beveled to reveal the clear glass; therefore each petal appears to have an outer frame. Both surfaces of the pedals are highly polished. The outer surface has the white portion raised while the internal surface is all flat. These petals curve outwards so when grouped in fours they create a flower shape. At the top of each petal there is a hole which locks in place onto the frame by a metal prong in the frame. When installed each petal continues through the golden metal covers for a decorative finishing detail.

This italian chandelier carries 6 standard E14 light bulbs sockets . Here it is photographed with satin 25 Watts Pygmy shaped light bulbs . Other types of E14 light bulbs such as Candle could be used for a different look. the light bulns are not included
