Gold Plated and Crystal Rod Chandelier Attributed to Sciolari, Italy, 1960-70s

About the Item

This chandelier with glass rods attributed to Gaetano Sciolari is an elegant and graceful statement with it's swirling rods and gold frame. The frame is less wide at the top and bottom and widest around the middle, giving a seamlessly swirl like appearance. Each glass rod rests in its own individual gold plated setting. The rods and the gold plate shield the bulbs; the light produced is a very soft and warm light. This piece would be a welcoming chandelier and would work well in an entry or over a dining table. From 1st Dibs Website "The work of celebrated mid-century Italian lighting designer and entrepreneur Angelo Gaetano Sciolari became widely popular in the United States during the postwar years and strongly influenced lighting makers around the world. The sculptural forms and striking geometric details of his vintage floor lamps, chandeliers and other fixtures fit seamlessly into the mid-century modern and Hollywood Regency interiors of the day. Sciolari initially crafted lamps and sconces that bore the hallmarks of traditional Italian design. But during the 1950s, when he would become the in-house designer for legendary Milan lighting manufacturer Stilnovo — one of the leaders of Italian postwar design — he created revolutionary fixtures that endured as his best-known work."

  • Sciolari Gold Brass Led Crystal Mid-Century Chandelier 12 Lights Stilkronen, 70s
    By Stilkronen, Gaetano Sciolari
    Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
    Twelve lights chandelier from Gaetano Sciolari, production made for Stilkronen, Italy, 1970s. Eight lights down and four lights up. Brass gold-plated. Transparent elements in Led Crystal. Bulbs are sorrounded by 24 led crystal vertical elements to diffuse the light with the refraction principle. This is an interesting version of the Sciolari's production. Usually he is known for bare un-shaded lights and great, sculptural, metalwork. Most of the time it's missing a play with light. Here Gaetano has used classic crystal chandelier in a contemporary revised and updated design. A step in the past: chandeliers were made to have many upward lights (in origin candles) to provide greater light output for larger rooms. The addition of elements of glass or crystal all around was not made to shade the light, but to refract it, creating the impression of multiplying the light candles or bulbs used. This lighting play was used with all the leaves and frills of Murano chandeliers and French crystal chandeliers...
