About the Item

An original 1960s sputnik chandelier featuring a meticulously crafted array of 69 brass arms extending from a central sphere, each tipped with a clear glass bulb. Inspired by the Sputnik satellite in 1957, the arrangement creates a balanced, starburst-like silhouette. The brass finish has developed a natural, warm patina over time. A beautiful example of Mid-Century Modern design during the Atomic Age, this subtle yet striking fixture would look stunning in a dining room or foyer. USA, 1960s. Condition: Great overall vintage condition. Natural, aged patina to the brass frame that has developed overtime. This fixture has 69 sockets and accepts standard Edison base bulbs. Max 20watt recommended. Additional Dimensions: OAH adjustable with chain length
