About the Item
European design in the 1930s was characterised by a blend of decorative elegance and streamlined, modern aesthetics. From Art Deco's bold shapes, to modernist streamlined silhouettes, designers of the era often experimented with geometric forms, unique compositions, and a sophisticated interplay of materials, resulting in pieces that balanced both function and visual appeal. This chandelier embodies those principles, presenting a refined structure that feels both timeless and contemporary.
The chandelier features a striking three-armed design that artfully balances different mediums. Composed of patinated metal and opal glass, it presents a striking juxtaposition of materials. The stacked form is anchored by a metal body, showcasing the charming patina developed through the passage of time. The darker, industrial feel of the metal frame contrasts with the smooth, luminous quality of the glass. The central focus falls on the tiered, stepped glass shade that cascades downward in a series of three concentric layers, creating a sculptural silhouette. This layered structure not only diffuses light evenly but also draws the eye downward, emphasizing its vertical presence. Surrounding the central element, three tapered glass shades flare upwards at the end of three symmetrically arranged arms, introducing a sense of symmetry to the composition.
Whether positioned as a focal point in a dining room or as a subtle accent in a living space, this chandelier exudes a sense of understated sophistication. Its clean, sculptural lines and warm, homely light make it a versatile piece, seamlessly bridging the gap between vintage elegance and modern sleekness.
