About the Item

1940s Italian chandelier in the style of Fontana Arte. Tripod form candelabra pendant fixture with ivory enameled armature suspended from a slim stem including the original conical ceiling canopy. Three satin glass candle form tubular shades fit over the candelabra bulb. A dome of concave/convex clear glass with a beveled outer edge and round cut out center appears to float as an umbrella above the candle lights. The structure is solid brass which has developed a gorgeously even bronze color patina. If requested we can polish the brass. We can also adjust the drop.
