About the Item

PRE-OWNED GOODS ARE EXEMPT FROM IMPORT TARIFFS FOR U.S., UK, AUSTRALIAN & CANADIAN CUSTOMERS. THEREFORE, NO IMPORT TARIFFS WILL BE APPLICABLE TO YOUR PURCHASE. Dandelion Sputnik chandelier designed by Emil Stejnar. Produced by Rupert Nikoll, Vienna, Austria. This chandelier is made of faceted glass in the shapes of snowflakes. The Sputnik-like base, stem and ceiling cap are still intact and the contrasts nicely with the white glass which gives it a crisp and fresh appearance in almost any interior. The chandelier has twelve sockets for E14 bulbs. Dimensions: 36 x 36 cm. Total height: 72 cm. Dated 1955. In beautiful and original condition. Emil Stejnar was trained as a gold- and silversmith in his hometown Vienna, Austria. He was inspired by nature and science, of which the Dandelion chandelier is a nice example of that. He is famous for his Space Age-era lighting design. In the 1950s and early 1960s, Emil Stejnar designed several pendant lamps, ceiling lights and sconces for the Viennese lighting manufacturer Rupert Nikoll. Starburst forms and delicate glass sprays are hallmarks of Stejnar’s ceiling lights, the most famous being the Sputnik Lamp.
