Sciolari Stile Italian modernist brass chandelier with smoked ground glass

About the Item

We invite you to read the description carefully, as we provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This captivating chandelier features a distinctive triangular cage-like frame, crafted from solid brass with a warm-toned finish that enhances its elegance and vintage charm. The upper section includes a structural frame connected to the main body by three arms, from which extends the adjustable brass chain for ceiling mounting. The lower section houses a central light socket, designed to provide even illumination. Three smoked glass panels, each secured with decorative screws, feature a refined central beveling that adds depth and creates elegant light reflections. The brass chain and ceiling canopy are adjustable in height to accommodate different spatial requirements. Produced between 1970 and 1975 by a prestigious Milan-based manufacturer, this type of chandelier was highly popular in Italy and across Europe during the 1970s. It stands out for its use of beveled glass and metal structures, often in brass or chrome. Although it lacks a visible maker's mark, its design strongly echoes the work of Gaetano Sciolari and other renowned Italian designers specializing in luxury decorative lighting. Blending modernist and Art Deco influences with a contemporary interpretation, this exquisite pendant light is an authentic design piece that combines elegance and functionality. The fusion of golden brass and smoked beveled glass lends it a sophisticated character, making it a stunning décor element that adds a touch of retro-classic charm to any space. The chandelier casts a warm, inviting glow through the smoked glass panels, while its geometric form introduces structure and personality without overwhelming the room. With its timeless aesthetic, this chandelier seamlessly integrates into various interior styles, including modern, vintage, industrial chic, or spaces featuring warm-toned wood and metal furnishings. Recommended placements: Dining Room: Suspended above a table for a striking visual effect. Living Room or Entryway: To create an immediate refined impression. Vintage-Inspired Study or Office: Adding character and exclusivity to the space. A unique piece that merges style, quality, and authenticity—ideal for those seeking decorative lighting with the enduring appeal of 1970s design. The chandelier is in good condition, with only one glass panel showing a minor chip at the bottom, as documented in several photos. Dimensions: Frame sides: 25 cm. Frame height: 28 cm. Total height (including chain): 70 cm The electrical system is functional but follows European wiring standards. We recommend consulting an electrician to verify voltage compatibility in other countries before installation. For maximum safety during shipping, we use only professional packaging materials, including wooden crates and polystyrene protection.
